MoonBots 8/3/2012 meeting

Anthony and Matthew did some tests on hill grade on early prototype on our MoonBots robot.  Calling our robot LunarScout  unless we come up with something better.   For testing, they looked around the house and decided on used school binders with rolled towels for the ramps and a cardboard box and heavy Wi Fit board for the high ridge section.   The robot worked well on fairly steep slope after Matthew made modifications to wheels and tires.   Robot needs some rework since too big to maneuver well and does not have the solar kit installed yet so more work is needed.

We designed our game and basic landscape during our Phase I meetings.   Katie and Anthony showed their mission models from Lego Digital Designer at the meeting.    Matthew  demoed his built mission models.    Team will work on changes as homework.

We have questions for the MoonBots contest expert before we finalize our landscape design. Our team captain sent email to the MoonBots contest team for clarifications..  Hopefully, we will have answers from contest expert so we finalize our landscape design.
