2015 Hawaii Regional Workshop

Many thanks to Dr. Miller for flying over from Oklahoma to give us the best in Botball Training.  The Hawaii Regional Workshop was on Feb 7-8th at the Wahiawa Middle School.  Participating teams include Hanalani Schools, Highlands Intermediate School, R.L. Stevenson Middle School, University Laboratory School, Wahiawa Community, and Wahiawa Middle School.  

The students, teachers, and mentors had an intense training session learning about programming, building robots, and troubleshooting problems.  We also got to preview the 2015 game and get questions answered from the expert.  A full board was also available for use.

For 2015 the presentation format was revised to include more flowcharts, examples, and breakdowns.  It was well received and a lot easier for new / novice individuals to follow along and learn.  

New for 2015 is the gmpc() function.  This is a more advanced function that is used coordinate motors and allow for more accurate travel.  Read through the developer materials and/or library reference to see how it works.
