4. Getting Started Break into 3 sub-teams: –Programming –Electronics –Transmission/Frame Get parts and go to rooms Expected time: 9:00-9:45 Introduction, pull parts from kit 10:00-11:45 Break-out room 11:45-12:00 Art Gage 12:00-1:00 Lunch 3:00-4:00 Final Assembly 4:00-5:00 Run robot or troubleshoot NOTE: Getting the robot to run in wireless mode may be too challenging in a short amount of time. Pick a deadline – say, 3:00 hours – to give up on wireless for the day and proceed with tethered mode only.

5. Rules 3. Start practicing ‘Gracious Professionalism’ today. 4. Respect the classroom you are in 1. You are responsible for your own kit of parts. 2. Do not drill into any tables!

12. 1.The instructions for both the frame and the transmission are in one booklet in the AndyMark kit box and also in two RQBS PowerPoints – one for the frame and one for the transmissions. 2.The AndyMark instructions cover both a 37”x27” ‘narrow’ robot and 27”x37” ‘wide’ robot. The RQBS instructions are for the narrow robot because the electronics board is sized for this style. Most of the teams use the narrow style. 3.You will have to cut two of the frame pieces - see the instructions for details. Frame & Transmission Team
