Here is an 8 minute video of AWESOME.  It goes through each and every one of the missions and tells you how to score points.  I hope everyone will take time to watch it.

Today's accomplishments

 The team redefined and narrowed their research project due to expert's comments.   The new research focus will be so\eely on curing WNS from bats to save the water system from pesticides and help prevent overuse of chemicals on food.  
 They came to some decisions on the plot and basis of their skit outline.  It's sure to be another funny one!  Can't wait to hear all  your director's notes next week.

   Olivia accomplished the first successful mission trip after the meeting ended!  She and Grace built a stupendous grabber arm that reaches out and captures the truck's wheel.  It ran 3 times consequentially after the film ended! 
       One down, 7 to go:)

About the Electrical Invaders!

       The Electrical Invaders, also known as E.I, began in 2010 with Mrs. Brandy Bergenstock as our coach. A group of young, talented, homeschooled students began meeting every week to build robots and exercise team cooperation. The Electrical Invaders won an award for outstanding research gathering. They have shown great collaboration, creativity and intelligence in their tournaments. Each member plays an important role in the team. Each one contributing something different, whether it be technical skills or creative ideas.
           The team members were Dylan, Robert, Grayson,  Ezra, Colton and Olivia . Ezra was the outgoing personality of the team. He was a very good leader and he worked very hard to encourage ideas and put them into action. Dylan always had great ideas to share, and the team loved to use them. He has inspired the ideas for the construction and programming the robots.  Robert always had a fresh perspective. He is the technical brains of the group, always one step ahead of the process. Colton was the encouragement of the team. No matter how frustrated we become with our projects, he is always motivated the team to keep going! Grayson was very supportive. You could always count on him to look out for his team and support their ideas. Olivia is the glue of the team; she makes sure the team gets along. She has also designed the shirts and programmed the robots.
   2011 Lego Robotics is just starting, and there are new team members that are super exited.  The new members are Grace and Abby. Welcome Grace and Abby!!!
