On Sunday we had Mike Kenzie, Paul Hayes, Jason Butler and myself helping with setting up a robot simulation environment for the students (Eclipse and Gazebo, running on Ubuntu 14.04). Anyone who is interested in providing assistance for this short, intensive project (end of build is 11:59PM on February 17th) should get in touch with Adam Drenth. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Mentors this week Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2015 18:20:42 +0000 From: Adam Drenth <adam [ dot ] drenth [ at ] ashbury [ dot ] ca> CC: Katherine Woodward <kat [ dot ] woodward [ at ] ashbury [ dot ] ca> Hello Everyone, Thanks to those who were able to help us out this weekend with the quick build. We now have a functional robot base. This week we are going to be talking about game strategy and discussing potential designs and developing prototypes. Which means they will need A LOT of help organizing their thinking as well as developing their ideas. I am hoping that you will be able to help out. We will be meeting on Wednesday (4-8), Thursday(4-8) and Saturday(10-4) this week. Wednesday will focus on developing the best strategy to maximize our points. By Thursday, we will be looking at mechanisms to prototype. I am hoping to have them working in teams to build prototypes by Saturday. Please let me know if you are able to help out and on what days. Forward this email to anyone who you know would also like to mentor our team. * * *Additional Information* Please make sure you are familiar with the animation and game manual found at http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/2015-game _ _ Thank you, Adam Drenth -- Aaron Wilcox GMail <mailto:aaron [ dot ] s [ dot ] wilcox [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com> Sympatico <mailto:aaron [ dot ] wilcox [ at ] sympatico [ dot ] ca>
