By Adrian Lee
Some bad news was brought onto the Team. It looks like the Handyboard Robot was completely messed up. The gears weren't working, forcing the wheels to be stuck. "We are messing with the speed of the servos to get the robot to work properly"- Michael Wad. If this problem isn't fix by the end of the week, it could be the end of the Handyboard Robot.

After finishing the Public Botball Site, Adrian P and Adrian L wanted to continue helping the Botball Team out. After studying the Botball rules and logics, Adrian L wanted to try Botball out. He wanted to help program a robot, and compete in the Botball tournament. Therefore, he asked Ms.Zach, if he could join the Handyboard Team. The same with Adrian P. Ms.Zach agree to join, since time was beginning to shorten. Now, Adrian P and Adrian L are studying the programming needed in programming the robot..That programming is known as- C.
March 11, 2004--> Web-Team Stressing Over Site
By Adrian Lee
At Lunch today, Amy H, Rajiv N, Adrian P, and
Adrian L stress over finishing the site before
tomorrow's deadline for the site. Even though
Adrian P and Adrian L finished 98% of the page, 2%
was still needed. Therefore, Ms. Zach explained a
lot to both Adrian's and both of them worked
endlessly on finishing the needs. Amy H and Rajiv N
gathered as much information from all the teams,
and helped edit some of the pictures which are
located on the Pictures page. Now that the site is
done, lets just hope that the Cesar Chavez Middle
School Botball Team succeeds and WINS 1ST PLACE in
the WEB DESIGN COMPETITION! GO HAWKS!
March 10, 2004--> CRAZY DAY
By Adrian Lee
Today was a crazy day at the Cesar Chavez Middle
School Botball Team Meeting. The new teams have
been assembled, and working endlessly on their
jobs. The Web Team had to work their hardest,
gathering information from each team, since
tomorrow is the deadline for the website (which you
are viewing right now). Everything was
peaceful and all, but inside the hearts of every
team member, we were all stressed out. However, the
side effect is having a lot of work finished.
Good Job, Guys!
March 9, 2004--> NO MORE FOOLING AROUND
by Adrian Lee
Today during Lunch, Mr. Needham and Ms. Zach
explained to us about how we have only 4 WEEKS to
finish the team's robots. While, the web-team has
to gather information from each team, and post them
up on the Botball Website Account, before Friday.
Mr. Needham and Ms. Zach also explained to us some
rules.
- No food on the tables cause you might damage the robot and its
pieces.
- If you just sit there and do nothing but eat and talk, then you
don't deserve to be on the team.
So buck up, and START working your hardest!
