4/19/14: FINAL MEETING SUMMARY!

Hello readers,

FINAL MEETING OF THIS YEAR'S FLL SEASON! We had an excellent final meeting, We perfected and finalized the missions, we practiced everything multiple times competition style and we ran through our practice questions. Also, two coaches from the Lego Dragons graciously consented to come and judge us on our performances. 

This has been an amazing FLL season for all of us in the BrickBusters. Samarth, Shane, Srikar and I hope to continue on to FTC next year. Medini, Sriya, Suhani and Shaun hope to continue to do FLL and go to the World Festival one more time. We are all very excited for the World Festival. We give a HUGE thank you to our amazing coaches, Mr. and Mrs. Madhusudan. Thank you to everyone who helped out our team on this amazing journey.

Thanks and GO BRICKBUSTERS!

Lego Meeting Summary: 4/14/2014

Hey, Brickbusters!
We started off by practicing some Robot design and Programming questions. Next, we practiced our RDES (Robot Design Executive Summary) speech. We also ran through our Project Skit and finally worked on Mission 3. The younger ones revised their knowledge of Core Values by looking at the presentation that we had created for the State Competition. Some reminders for next class are-

• Review your lines for the RDES as well as the Project Skit. (Tip: All lines must be memorized by Wednesday.)
• Look over the Fire Retardant Balloon and Lightning Diverter notes. 
• Look over the summaries for Robot Design, Core Values and the Project.

Thanks, and Go BrickBusters!

Lego Meeting Summary: Sunday 4/13/2014

Hello BrickBusters,
Today was also another good practice day. The older kids started off by practicing and improving the missions. During that time, the younger kids reviewed their questions and practiced their lines for the project skit and the robot design executive summary. After that, we all practice the project skit, RDES, and the core values song. Then, we went over some of the questions. After going over the questions, Samarth and Srikar prepared notes on the Lightning Diverter and the Fire Retardant Balloon, parts of the WEPADS to refresh everyone's memory about the various components of the parts. In that time, the younger kids refreshed their memory on wildfires. As we are approaching the date for the event that we are all looking forward to, here are a few things that we need to keep in mind:

• Practice Project Skit Lines
• Practice RDES Lines
• Review Questions

Thanks and Go BrickBusters!!!
