October 7th Team Meeting

Core Values: we looked at the calendar and worked backwards from our possible tournament dates (12/5 or 12/12) to set some deadlines for when we needed to have robot and project tasks completed.

Robot: Mr. Cheli helped us evaluate our robots, using this checklist:

Project: Mr. Penniman helped us look through trash from the fifth grade classrooms, and we decided to focus on food wrappers. We talked about different ways to address problems with trash:

• Refuse
• Reduce
• Reuse
• Recycle
• Rot

Ideas for possible solutions:

• Public education campaign to encourage people to refuse or reduce
• Ways to reuse, ex: Capri sun bag
• Machine for sorting and getting cash back, like grocery stores have for cans and bottles
• App for telling you if your wrapper can be recycled or reused
