2) Continue building your material sorter. Final presentations will be Thursday Feb 20.
3) If you did not finish 3.1.4 or 3.15 these must be demonstrated to Mr. Vezino by THurs. 2/13 to receive credit.
Homework -
Continue working on your Material Sorter documentation. Consider the following as ways to continue making progress while away from the classroom.
1) Make your presentation. You and your partner will need to present your machine to the class on Thurs. Feb. 20. Requirements can be found HERE
2) Write your machine control code at home. RobotC can be downloaded for free or you can simply type it into a Google Doc.
2) Do some research. The material sorter problem has been solved many times by many different PLTW students.
3) Make specific plans for you and your partner including separate tasks or a To-Do list.
