Pre- Pre- Pre- prototype!

    This is our pre- pre- pre- pre- pre- prototype! I don't think we have chosen a name yet for it yet, but it's still way before 
the competition. We've gotten it to pick up some ring-a-ma-bobs, but that's it. I'll try to post something next Tuesday.

New Robot, YAY!

  By Josten, from the operation TAC team.

     Alright, we've finally received our robot, and our awesome master programmer, Titus, has already  roughly completed some programs! All we, (the programmers,) have to do is a little fine tuning and then we will already have competed some missions! Some teams have only just started figuring out how to make the programs! That means we have a great potential to win this competition!
    Also, Chris should be emailing some videos to very soon and I will be able to show you what the robot looks like!

    Until then!

Lots of acronyms and a big bummer


By Josten from the Operation TAC team.

                Ok, FLL is part of the robotics and engineering program called F.I.R.S.T. FLL stands for First Lego League. Our team name is named Operation TAC. *Whew* This blog will be about the successes, failures, and what we have learned about robotics in the time leading up to the competition.

                Most recently we received the playing mat and testing table from FLL. But there is a conflict. FLL said they won’t send out the instructions on how to set up the table until, if I remember correctly, 6:00 AM, August 1. So, basically we have a big mat with a bunch of random lines on it and a pile of Legos to do nothing with. Bummer. Ooooooh well, I guess we’ll post again at 6:30 AM August 1! Be ready to wake up early! Until next time!
