I  went over some FLL information while we practiced a little team work.

Team work project was Sudoku.
They then divided up into 2 teams and checked out the programs on the robots.
Bot names  Jr. and Juan
Team names Dads and RockYo

The 5 prgm slots
A C --> 2, AC <--- 2 stop
A C --> 1, wait 2, AC <--- 1
A-->C<--- 1, B down 1, A<---C--> 1, B up
go until bump
music

A motor is on the left and the C motor is on the right,
Both motors forward does make the bot go forward.
How to turn?

mow grass

IR is under the can.
Some concepts that were touched upon -
repeatability
go until dark

loops



Two students brought laptops.

By the end of two hours there were 2 programs to show off.

However the computer hard drive fan failed so we will have to try another day.
