Well hello there, world!
This is the official Team Paragon blog spot where myself, your lovely blog host, will be informing you about all the magic and hard work that goes into creating the amazing robots that we do, and the continuous strive for perfection that we always seamlessly always achieve as Team Paragon! ;)
So basically, there's a lot of juicy stuff happening at the Team Paragon Compound. We're a big family and together we embody what we need to, in order to function as a Team. This Team includes various segments that are organized to run Team Paragon properly, so we can proceed to make the robots.
These Team Segments include:
Administrators:
Programing:
Mechanical:
Electrical:
FTC:
Web:
TV Productions:
On my first day, I was able to get some details on what each group does.
Administrators:
Today the Administrators told me about what they're doing. Remember earlier how I said we we're a family? Well we are, we even have a team Mom! Yeah, that would be Mama Susca! She's our team mother. She guides us when we're lost, helps us when we need it, and she was kind enough to lend some of her time to inform me of what was going on.
On this evening, The Admins work diligently on the Team's Pitbook and team buttons. A Pitbook is pretty much Team Paragon's entire record. It "informs the world what we are, what we do, and how we do it," says Mama Susca. It is also presented to the judges during robotics competitions to show them all the amazing features and aspects of Team Paragon.
Programming:
In programming, Divya explains the workings of how to go about making a robot. She discusses that in order to understand how to build a robot, you must go over the basic codes to build one, and setting up a default for running it. She also talks about their future plans for programming the robot, and the possible actions it will take!
Pretty exciting, huh?!
FTC:
In FTC, Lance filled me in on what they were up to. He says, "building a secret weapon!" They work on critique a special device used for the game Hot Shot! that takes place at one of the competitions. In the game, our robot must demonstrate some of its amazing capabilities by picking up balls and shooting them into goals without hurting the other robots. Lance, Linnea, Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Carrol all put their heads together to construct a part of our robot in the best way they can so that it shines in its speed and strength.
Mechanical:
In Mechanical, They consulted programing in terms of the schematics and the ideas for what they wanted in the robot. Mechanical worked on a new design to construct and improve our new robot.
Web:
Web is where the Team Paragon website is constructed and edited. What we do is make the website pretty, informative, give praise to our sponsors, and show the competition what we're made of - and also, where we have our blog, where we invite you into our daily activities. Today in Web, the website design was worked on. Xianni, and Noah work as a tenacious team to design and edit the website banner, which is coming out amazingly! Also, Our wonderful mentors, Shila, Mr. Saunders and John help and guide us through the trials of Html!
T.V Production:
T.V Productions was absent for today, but Mr. Moore was able to fill me in on the happenings behind TV Productions. He explains that it's their job to take and edit the videos of the production of the robot. He also congratulates and commends Tyler for doing a wonderful job as our camera man. Woohoo!
Boy, were you able to absorb all that? As you can see, Team Paragon is a very productive team, but all the hard work is necessary when you're striving for perfection!
So until next time, I'm your blog host, Jenay, that will be keeping you posted with your daily robotic news feed.
Thanks for reading, and bookmark our page for more daily updates!
