RBAD is an acronym that stands for Robot Build Agile Development. It is how our team is structured and how we know who completed tasks and what still needs to be done. We have white boards that are known as Kon Bon boards. They are  split into 3 sections labeled in progress, to do, and done. Next to the Kon Bon board is the backlog board which is used to show everything that well need to be done to finish the entire system. We use different colored sticky notes to label the different Cores. Cores are made up of students from multiple different disciplines and are assigned to work on one specific system. Each Core has a Core Owner who is assigned to make sure everyone has a task and everything flows smoothly. The RBAD master supervises the entire RBAD process and makes sure everyone understands RBAD and have gone through the training. At the end of each week or “sprint” each core makes a small presentation for what they got done and what problems they had.

But happy because we had such an AMAZING year.

Two girls in North Carolina have proven that age is no obstacle to building a Mars rover. From their garage at home, Camille Beatty, 13, and her sister Genevieve, 11, built a functioning robot modelled after NASA’s now-deceased Spirit rover.

I made a gif of my robot in action ^^
