Found this recipe on FB and tried it out this morning. they're too hot to eat still, but they smell and look amazing!

Natalie Wood shared a recipe on FB for ham & cheese crescent rolls. I made them today. The image shows a dozen rolls in a pan. They are rolled up pinwheel-style and not crescent style. You can see the poppy seeds, cheese, ham, and spinach in the rolls.

We needed a larger gusset than all the ones we have to connect two pieces of 1 x 2 tubing. So we designed one, and are having an alumnus water jet it for us for cost of materials only. #FIRSTRoboticsCompetition #REEFscape
Student sitting at a computer using Onshape to design a custom gusset for one of our mechanisms. The finished gusset design. The team will have them water jetted at a local shop by a 2016 FIRST Stronghold alumnus.

Aren't our yellow chassis sides pretty? #FIRSTRoboticsCompetition #REEFscape
Four foot long sections of 1" x 2" x1/8" pre-drilled aluminum tubing. It has been powder coated yellow and is wrapped in bubble wrap. Next to it is a small closed box full of brackets and gussets which have been powder coated blue. The same powder coated aluminum tubing as in the other photo, now being assembled into a swerve chassis using SDS MK4 modules. A person in a flannel shirt is seen behind the chassis.

We have just about figured out our mechanisms and will be ready to start fabricating by next week.
A whiteboard with lots of math on it. Two students and a mentor are in front of it doing the calculations.

And the Game Manual reading and strategizing has begun... #FIRSTRoboticsCompetition
Two students at a white board. There is an interactive whiteboard next to the regular board. Students are reading info from the electronic board and summarizing it on paper charts on the regular whiteboard.

Kickoff is getting closer...

And cue the "Inverse Time Law" ----- as the number of hours left until an event decreases, the apparent length of each hour increases.

Progress was made on the battery charging station. It needs one more shelf, a handle, and wheels. It will be painted over holiday break.
Two teen boys standing proudly by a battery charging station they designed and built from scratch. It still needs one shelf, wheels, and to be painted. Plus the battery chargers need to be installed.

The students designed a new Battery Charging Station (made from the wood from our dismantled Charged Up Charging Station). They first sketched out ideas on a white board, then made hand drawings, and then a CAD drawing. They cut the wood and assembled. Not quite finished yet. Stay tuned!
Students and a mentor standing around a portable work bench preparing to cut wood. The mentor holds the plans with the measurements on it. There are other pieces of wood laying around on the ground. An unfinished wooden shelf-like construction. View from the back. It still needs a back on it, a bottom shelf, and wheels.

On Nov. 4 we were visited by a Global Ties: Hidden No More group of women in STEM from several countries. They visited the robot lab and then were given a tour of the school by our team.

In early November we participated in the FIRST booth at the Huntsville STEAMfest. We let participants drive our robot around in a marked off area. The motors on the swerve were programmed for <25% speed for safety.
A team member helps a little girl with a robot controller. The FIRST Robotics booth at Huntsville STEAMfest. A green popup shades a table with some robotics students behind it, and several small children waiting to drive a robot. Two robots can be seen in front of the booth. One is larger and is made out of yellow and blue metal parts. The other is just a prototype chassis and is smaller.

On Oct.30 we participated in the Trunk or Treat held in the school's competition gym. The event had many booths set up and lots and lots of littles coming around for candy. We ran out. Next year we'll bring more.
A table decorated with a Halloween table cloth. There is a bowl of candy, some buttons, a laptop, and brochures on the table. A robot chassis is in a circle marked off by yellow and blue cones. Students are standing behind it. People are walking around the area.

Here is the end result of the printer stand the students designed and built. Now people passing by in the hallway can see the printer when it's running.
A countertop with several parts containers sitting on it. There is also a wooden shelf with things on it, and on top of the shelf is a Prusa 3D printer in an enclosure. There are some posters on the wall behind the counter, and a large window that looks out into a hallway.

We have a new Prusa 3D printer and want to display it in the window facing the hall so the school student population can see the printer working. To do that we needed to elevate it about a foot. Students designed the box to not only hold the printer, but with storage space underneath.
Mentor Does/Student Helps. A mentor is showing a student how to add a strip of wood to a piece of plywood using wood glue and brad nails. Two students sit at a table with some design sketches. The students are making a "cut list" from the design drawings so the materials can be cut and the design fabricated.

Two new students figure out how to use ratchet wrenches and the difference between the screw head and the nut side tools. Letting them figure it out themselves after being briefly shown how to use the tools earlier helps them learn better.

We have gotten so much done so far this semester, but as you can see, we have so much left to do! #FIRSTRoboticsCompetition #Reefscape
Two high school students at a white board making sketches for something they are designing. One is wearing all black and the other is wearing a purple hoodie. There is a chemical formula randomly drawn on the board. A white board with a 7 week calendar full of "To-Do" items spanning from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7. The items all relate to tasks to prepare the robotics students for build season, which starts January 4.

Guess what we're about to start making? We "only" need 500 this season.
A computer and printer. On the computer screen is a sheet of 2.25 inch button inserts that shows a fierce jaguar bursting out of the rainforest and the words "6107 CyberJagzz". The printer is in the process of printing out multiple copies of the document on light blue paper. A high school student sitting at a table cutting out button insert circles. She has a bedazzled phone sitting next to her, and more button insert papers ready to be cut out nearby. There is a stack of already cut out button circles.

The team is still in the process of getting everyone registered and passing their safety activities. Even veteran students have to take all the safety quizzes again. Once they pass they may then work on the robot or other projects. #FIRSTRoboticsCompetition
A student going over a PowerPoint presentation while students watch. Assorted pieces of aluminum sit on a desk in the front of the image. A student and a mentor pondering drawings on a whiteboard. In the foreground one desk holds a battery and battery charger, while the other holds paper with writing on it. A student crouched on the floor working on a blue and yellow robot. Parts of the robot have been dismantled and are sitting on the floor next to the robot.

Test run for our freshly assembled Prusa. Impressive print quality compared to the old makerbot z18s we have. Now to load updated slicers to our even older desktop computers. School has blocked GitHub so we have to load via flash drives.

Last April, in the days leading up to the Rocket City Regional we hosted Team 5800 Magic Island Robotics from Brazil. They need a place to work on their robot so we graciously offered to share our lab, batteries, and other materials to get their robot in driving shape. #GraciousProfessionalism

In August local organizations hold a Back To School/Celebrating Education parade and festival. We decorated a utility trailer and participated in the 1.25 mile long parade. We start out in a Dollar General parking lot and end up at the school. There is a festival afterwards.
A parade float in a parking lot. Students in the background practicing their cheers. Students sitting on the float waiting for the parade to begin. A blue poster on the front corner of the float trailer, with a yellow flag on the other front corner. Popup tents on a track behind a school. The first one has a green top and there are two people and a robot under it. The next one s white, with others after it.

We want to make a running CyberJag for a new poster with our motto on it. Chasing Success One Match At A Time. We need a jaguar image that we can change into a partially robotic animal for the poster. So we are tracing the outline of a running jag to get started. More to come!
Two students are tracing an image of a jaguar projected from an old overhead projector. A pencil outline of a running jaguar. Step one in creating a new jaguar image for the team. Robot parts will be filled in on the image making it an official CyberJagzz image!
