Stardate: Twenty-Fourth of February, Two-Thousand and Seven; approx. 16:30 hours
We started making our strategy today. Unanimously we decided on making one robot to catch the tribbles as they come out of the "volcano" and flinging them over to the other team's side; and an other robot to get random tribbles into the containers.

Stardate: Second of March, Two-Thousand and Seven; approx. 17:00 hours
The impossible has happened, today in a four hour meeting after school, we actually got some work done today with minimal "your mom" jokes. Early in the meeting, Vice President Andrew Lee decided that the design for a vertical track to lift the tribble basket did not follow the KISS method of robotics. Then we ate some Little Caeser's pizza. After that, we decided that our current motor mount wasn't working too well so we decided to rebuild it with hilarious results. Then we got bored and picked up all of the loose pieces on the table.

Stardate: Fourth of March, Two-Thousand and Seven; approx 15:45 hours
Today we built the chassie of one of our robots, which we determined will go and do wheelies on the other team's side when it is legal to go to the other side. We also built a fan sweeper thing to capture all of the "pineapple" tribbles and put them into a lego/paper containment chamber which is attached to a servo which lifts and tilts the container to deposite all of the tribbles into one of the bins.

Stardate: Fourth of March, Two-Thousand and Seven; approx. 17:10 hours
We are under way building a functioning arm to drop the umbrellas into the houses, and to do this, we are employing the use of a winch, which we have started to build today, but ran out of time, so we will complete it during our next meeting.

Stardate: Ninth of March, Two-Thousand and Seven; approx. 17:30 hours
Today in a short after school meeting, we got the special umbrella arm almost mounted to the house collection bin, and we also came close to fully mounting the front end of the tribble harvester, but then my mom came in and said that we had to leave. Tomorrow, I hope that we have a better turn-out, including Dustin, who I just recruited today.

Stardate: Tenth of March, Two-Thousand and Seven; approx. 18:00 hours
Today, in a six hour meeting where almost no one showed up, we were surprisingly productive. We were able to mount the arm on our pineapple scooping robot, and build the chasis for the house-saving robot. The chasis for the house-saving bot is quite ingenious, though the only problem is that when someone opens the gameboy, the weight on the back gets more spread out, thus increasing the chances for the robot to flip over.

Stardate: Eighteenth of March, Two-Thousand and Seven; approx 17:00 hours
Today, we got more work done, despite some problems with one of the XBC's. We managed to fix the back of the house robot, and decided that the motor mount of the tribble getting robot was not good, so we will rebuild it tomorrow. Also, today we named our robots, after two Beatles songs, "Walrus" (the one that gets the houses, and "Strawberry Fields Forever" (the tribble getting robot).

Stardate: Nineteenth of March, Two- Thousand and Seven; approx 17:30 hours
Dustin came today, which helped to alleviate the labour crisis (nobody was showing up). During the meeting, we rebuilt Strawberry Fields Forever's motor mount, and built a new claw to pick up the water with.
