Day 1

Teammates: Myself+Rishabh Bhandari +Ramanan Sampath +David Zhai


5/1/13 - Day 1

Sitting in the dark and danky GCC, we all wonder at what to name our ME218C project. Ideas begin with what theme to model our POD after:
1. Erica’s bike...she’s already making one, so why not have audience members pedal to make the robot go, steer to turn it, and ring a bell to snatch?
2. Saint Bernard dog doll/large stuffed animal...pet the dog to snatch!
3. …..and somehow all this resulted in us deciding that making our audience members sit on a ROCKING HORSE to control the robot would be the cooliest.

Quotes of the night:
“What if we just make it poop everywhere??” - Ramanan referring to how to display a loss of energy. Ramanan has a strange fascination with poop. It’s disconcerting. We are worried about his mental health. Obviously his strenuous course schedule has already started taking its toll.

Rishabh is a debbie downer and not excited by our cool team name.

Ramanan's contribution for the "if BOT already controlled and another POD tries to gain control" scenario:


TEAM WHIPLASH!
