Notes from last night's meeting.
1. Adam is to send out confirmation e-mail about Saturday's meeting at
Superior Jointing listing those that have confirmed they are going. Maybe meet
a few minutes ahead of time.
2. We are not sure what supplies we need to buy yet. Maybe once we see
the frame and wheels assembled we can decide what kind of supplies we need.
3. Ideas for demonstration modules for the demo bot. We had a lot of fun
coming up with these ideas and the team should speak up if new ideas arise.
1. T-shirt cannon: could be pneumatic or sling-shot style
2. i-phone or i-pad controlled bot: maybe design our own app
3. Ball launcher: pitching machine style, could be a bot that kids could
try and bat against with nerf balls
4. Voice command bot
5. Grabber arm
6. Articulated arm
7. Paint ball cannon
8. Cleaner/Organizer bot
9. Water balloon launcher: maybe sling-shot design
10. Catapult
11. Frisbee shooter: could use small frisbee's with advertisements on them
12. Techno bot: Laser lights, fog, music
13. Guitar hero bot

I am going home sick today, so I will not be able to make the meeting.
Here are the things that we need to accomplish:
1. Create a bill of materials for the robot.
a. What more do we need? We have only a small amount of the
electronics. What types of cables and motor controllers do we need? Should we
get another gaming adapter? I would like a list of parts that we need to
purchase in order to finish he prototype bot.
b. Someone can be selected to search for the most cost effective "slip
ring" connectors that we can find. See the link for what this is.

2. Make sure that everyone knows where and when they are meeting for the
frame welding date! As I said, you will probably also get to see their awesome
robotic laser cutting and welding machine.
3. A sub team can form to design graphics for the prototype bot. I would
like us to find an appealing way to attach something like corregated plastic
panels to the robot. We can get them printed to have graphics on them so we
can display the team name, number, and sponsors on it in a professional looking
way. This robot will become our demonstration bot, so we want it to look very
professional (we'll also have to take our time wiring the bot)!
4. If there is any time left, we can open up the conversation about what
types of demonstration modules can get attached to the robot. This would
ideally be a modular piece that is detachable with a few pins and a plug so
that the robot can easily be transported to a demonstration in a car. We don't
need to make a decision, but we can have people throw out ideas and maybe draw
them on the board.
c. Example: Big robot arm , tennis ball shooter, etc...
Call if you guys have any questions.
Thanks,
Adam
