Yesterday, the Bronx FLL competition was held at Truman H.S. Above you see members of the team from TYWLS along with their teacher/coach, Miss Melissa.
More pictures of the day's events can be seen at Bronx FLL.
Next, of course, is the citywide competition to be held at Riverside State Park during the last weekend in January.

Nov. 2nd FLL team meeting

Yesterday I visited with the team for the first time. Very impressed. The girls used the user manual that comes with the NXT kit and assembled a bot.
They also attached various sensors to their bot and used the built in programming environment to program it to react to the environment in the classroom.
We talked about why the sound sensor wouldn't be appropriate for the competition...then we saw why this was so. The sensor is extremely sensitive and so it picks up sounds even at a distance.
We're still waiting for the mission materials to arrive so that the team can assemble the mission models and place them on the field mat. Next week's work!
