Project Assignments

Hi team

Quick reminders: the core questions you wanted to dig into for next Tuesday:

1. Given the project challenge that was just posted (http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/fll/content.aspx?id=15162 ) where have you found transportation systems that you found to be really intriguing or exciting to explore further?
- which communities did these relate to?
- which transportation systems to focus upon?
- which problems or challenges most fascinate you?

2. How have other teams' excelled in their project challenges? What "does it take to be great"?
- any insights here from what you can find? who's won awards -- and why?
- who would we ask to learn more to answer this question?

Recall that Amiel also reminded us to think beyond personal transportation systems (which we rode for 8 hours last week!) ... so how do products also reach us? water? services? "stuff"? what are the transport systems also involved here?

And, by the way, Austin can share with us what it feels like to be without his information networks for 4 days this weekend (Comcast is going offline at his house) ... remember, information is transportation in byte sizes ... so, as Austin "unplugs", he can tell us what happens to his "transportation systems" when his information highway gets shut down ...

Looking forward to next Tuesday ...

Coach Sue
