==Implementation of New Management==
===Implementation of basecamp: ===
:o Programmers have been using it for the best year
::♣ Original goal was who was working on what, what does it take to get that done, it then developed into an archive for past codes
::♣ [[Natalie Luong]] put all of the build blog docs on Google Drive
:::• Build blog is an area that students can use to check info of they weren’t here
:::• We are planning to not completely abandon the build blog this year because it would be a craze
:::• Archive our engineering docs into our Google Drive
::♣ We want to use basecamp as away to monitor our subteams to ensure that they achieve their goals
:::• We should put to-do lists in our basecamp
:::• Put engineering notes into basecamp
:::• Rationale: Reasoning why we made an engineering decision
:::• Potentially act as our build blog not now, but one day
:o All communication outlets (build blog, discord, etc) should be documented somewhere
::♣ Maybe some find way to make build blog links easier
:o There is a video (Google Drive) folder that is shared w/all mentors and officers
:o Email seems to be the most effective because motivation issues w/students
::♣ Checklists must be created in order to maintain motivation
• Tips on how to make people be held accountable
:o Charts seem to be effective (but do what’s best for you [i.e. spreadsheet w/each subteams name is labeled])
:o Need to list what needs to be completed, when it needs to be completed, and what it means to be completed
::♣ There should be checkpoints every period to measure how close people are to your definition completion
:o Subteam leaders need to “pull” their subgroup, but the subteam needs to push themselves
::♣ May break subteams into 2-3 subgroups giving them a role in responsibility, which gives them the desire to “push” and be held accountable
:::• Similar to elected officers to appointed officers
:::• May get too complicated
:::• May want to only divide up small tasks
::::o This would cause a “fail fast, fail cheaply” mindset
::♣ We may want to convey the importance of members doing their general assignment more effectively
:::• Our 3 subleaders will be gone next semester, so we need to start make our students understand their responsibility
:::• Gives a purpose to students, may give them a drive to work
::♣ Don’t know our rookies well enough to know if their want to maintain their responsibility
:::• May want to deal small tasks to rookies to determine their affinity
• Expectations from
:o Taking lots of notes (each group should have an engineering notebook filled in w/dates, times, etc)
::♣ Write what works, what doesn’t
::♣ May include pictures (i.e. shooter designs)
::♣ This is basically the build blog
:::• Build blogs can’t be tweaked, so engineering notebooks can be used to add new colors, new notes to older designs
:::• For videos in build blog, we need to label what each video contains, how it is used, and what the results were
::♣ We should buckle down, and get things working now
:o Subteams need to incorporate measurements in docs sent to programmers to make it easier for them to code

On January 10, 2016, the Robo Lions invited Walton Robotics over to collaborate on game strategies. Here are some pictures of Walton spreading the love.

===Robots===
This year's robot is Khanquistador. View his reveal video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsSBCBPBLJs here].

===Field Team===
The [[2016]] field team consisted of:
*Driver: [[driver::Preston Shaw]]
*Manipulator Driver: [[manipulator driver::Nabil Khan]]
*Coach: [[coach::Mackenzie Glaser]]
*Human Player: [[human player::Joel Leonardo]]

===Districts===
The Georgia district model was adopted first in [[2016]], and it allowed for Georgia [[FRC]] teams to compete in-state. The Robo Lions chose to compete in 3 of the 4 available competitive events in this year: Columbus, Albany, and Kennesaw.
====Columbus====
During the weekend of March 10-12, the team headed down to Columbus to compete in the week 2 Peachtree District Qualifier. Along with their alliance Captain {{TBA|5332}}and alliance partner {{TBA|4240}}, we were able to make it all the way to the semfinals!

====Albany====
The team won the tournament at the Albany District Event! Allied with teams {{TBA|3329}}and {{TBA|5651}}, we were able to rise out on top ''and'' set the record for the highest score in Georgia! The team also won the District Chairman’s Award, becoming the first team in Gwinnett County to ever win the award, giving us our second Blue Banner and automatically qualifying us for the Peachtree District State Championships. The Robo Lions were also awarded the UL Industrial Safety Award. In addition, two Robo Lions’ team members, [[Caroline Means]] and [[Mackenzie Glaser]], were named Deans List Finalists.

====Kennesaw====
While it may have been Spring Break, the team topped the charts with a great win at the Kennesaw District Event, competing with a total of thirty-five other in-state teams. Having been selected by alliance captain {{TBA|1746}}OTTO Robotics from Cumming, Ga and working alongside alliance partner {{TBA|5812}}Drewbotics from Riverdale, Ga, the teams proved indestructible scoring a whopping 154 points in the final match! With the use of vision tracking that allowed for precise high goal shots and aggressive driving skills that dominated the field, the team also won the Excellence in Engineering award sponsored by Delphi.

===Peachtree District State Championships===
Having faced off against competitors of the 41 best teams throughout the state of Georgia, the team was placed as the third-seed alliance captain and made it through six rigorous playoff matches with alliance partners {{TBA|2415}}Westminster Wired Cats from Atlanta, Ga and {{TBA|4516}}Hyperion Robotics from Roswell, Ga, before losing in the Finals, but not before setting an unbeatable high score of 170 points! The team was also awarded with the Innovation in Control Awared sponsored by Rockwell Automation, and was crowned the second ranked team in Georgia. Because of this, the team was one of twelve teams in Georgia to qualify for the World Championships to be help in St. Louis, Missouri, but the only team in Gwinnett County to do so!

===FIRST World Championships===
The team was able to qualify for the FIRST Robotics World Championships that took place in St. Louis, Missouri towards the end of April. We were one of just twelve Georgia FRC teams to qualify and made it farther than we have ever done before! Clawing our way through two days of qualification matches, we placed thirteenth out of seventy-five competing teams within the Curie division. From there, they were chosen to join the 5th seed alliance captain Team 5406 Celt-X from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and their alliance partners Team 3641 Flying Toasters from South Lyon, Michigan. Team 2883 F.R.E.D from Warroad, Minnesota was chosen to be the backup 4th robot on the alliance. The determined trio fought hard only to be stopped short in the second semi-final match, losing by a small margin. However, this still marks the farthest we've ever gotten at Worlds!

===Awards===
*Industrial Design Award sponsored by General Motors at Columbus
*Ul Industrial Safety Hard Hat Pin at Albany
*Chairman's Award at Albany
*District Winners at Albany
*District Winners at Kennesaw
*Excellence in Engineering Award sponsored by Delphi at Kennesaw
*Semi-Finalists at State

==Off-Season Activities==
===GRITS===
GRITS this year was held at Walton High School on October 10th, where the Robo Lions were able to score as runner-ups, along with alliance captain 1648 G3 Robotics and 4189 Chargers. The team also took home the Outreach Award, representing with over 25 rookie attendees.

===GirlsFIRST Event===
On October 17th, 2015 Walton High School (FRC Team 2974) hosted a GirlsFIRST workshop to bond with local robotics teams as well as anyone interested from the surrounding communities. There were engineering contests, guest speakers from women in technology, driver practice with robots from past games, and tons of big smiles! A small group of girls on our team were glad that they got to participate in such an amazing event.

==Spring Activities==
===Parsons STEM Night===

[[File:2016_ParsonsSTEM.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The Robo Lions at Parsons STEM Night]]

On Thursday, February 4th, the team headed next door to Parsons Elementary school for an awesome night of robotics demonstrations! Our new outreach VEX robot made its debut, shooting balls across the cafeteria. Many of the students were eager to bring the balls back and even got to try their hand at driving the robot. Genesis, the 2014 competition robot, served us well once as we watched students jump up to catch the ball. A huge thanks to Parsons for having us and to all of the Robo Lions who helped make this night run smoothly!

===Mason STEM Night===
Mason STEM Night- Members of the team brought a VEX Robot and the 2014 Aerial Assist Robot to Mason Elementary to participate in a robotics showcase alongside GSMST Robotics and the Mason FLL team. Students were excited to jump up to catch the ball as the robot launched it across the room while others drove the VEX robot. It was really great to see the new members of the team connect with the elementary students, making sure all were safe around the robot and even sharing a dance or two! Prior to the night, students helped judge science fair entries which were also on display for parents that night. We had tons of kids take interest in the robot and we really loved being able to connect the kids’ experiences with robotics to our own robotics experiences!

===Burnette Science Night===
[[File:2016Burnette.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The Robo Lions at Burnette Science Night]]
On February 11th, the team attended their first Burnette Elementary’s Science Night. It was great to drive around our 2014 FRC robot and our VEX Outreach robot, as we had lots of interest and answered tons of great questions. We spoke with Ms. Reed, the Principal, about furthering their robotics program, and are excited to continue working with the school!

===Lawrenceville Rotary Club Meeting===
Seven enthusiastic members of the Peachtree Ridge High School Robotics Team presented information about their activities to the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville on April 4. [[2016]] [[Drive Team]] and [[2016]] [[Executives |Executive Officers]] described how the competitions worked and how the group went about preparing their robots for the competitions. The group is not only about engineering and business tasks; it is about building relationships, developing leadership skills, engaging in teamwork, and outreaching within the community. They displayed two of their robots and showed a video about the “Robo Lions spirit” that won a prize at a recent competition.

Having been selected by alliance captain {{TBA|1746}}OTTO Robotics from Cumming, Ga and working alongside alliance partner {{TBA|5812}}Drewbotics from Riverdale, Ga, the teams proved indestructible scoring a whopping 154 points in the final match! With the use of vision tracking that allowed for precise high goal shots and aggressive driving skills that dominated the field, the team also won the Excellence in Engineering award sponsored by Delphi.

===Peachtree District State Championships===
Having faced off against competitors of the 41 best teams throughout the state of Georgia, the team was placed as the third-seed alliance captain and made it through six rigorous playoff matches with alliance partners {{TBA|2415}}Westminster Wired Cats from Atlanta, Ga and {{TBA|4516}}Hyperion Robotics from Roswell, Ga, before losing in the Finals, but not before setting an unbeatable high score of 170 points! The team was also awarded with the Innovation in Control Awared sponsored by Rockwell Automation, and was crowned the second ranked team in Georgia. Because of this, the team was one of twelve teams in Georgia to qualify for the World Championships to be help in St. Louis, Missouri, but the only team in Gwinnett County to do so!

===FIRST World Championships===
The team was able to qualify for the FIRST Robotics World Championships that took place in St. Louis, Missouri towards the end of April. We were one of just twelve Georgia FRC teams to qualify and made it farther than we have ever done before! Clawing our way through two days of qualification matches, we placed thirteenth out of seventy-five competing teams within the Curie division. From there, they were chosen to join the 5th seed alliance captain Team 5406 Celt-X from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and their alliance partners Team 3641 Flying Toasters from South Lyon, Michigan. Team 2883 F.R.E.D from Warroad, Minnesota was chosen to be the backup 4th robot on the alliance. The determined trio fought hard only to be stopped short in the second semi-final match, losing by a small margin. However, this still marks the farthest we've ever gotten at Worlds!

===Parsons STEM Night===

[[File:2016_ParsonsSTEM.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The Robo Lions at Parsons STEM Night]]

On Thursday, February 4th, the team headed next door to Parsons Elementary school for an awesome night of robotics demonstrations! Our new outreach VEX robot made its debut, shooting balls across the cafeteria. Many of the students were eager to bring the balls back and even got to try their hand at driving the robot. Genesis, the 2014 competition robot, served us well once as we watched students jump up to catch the ball. A huge thanks to Parsons for having us and to all of the Robo Lions who helped make this night run smoothly!

===Mason STEM Night===
Mason STEM Night- Members of the team brought a VEX Robot and the 2014 Aerial Assist Robot to Mason Elementary to participate in a robotics showcase alongside GSMST Robotics and the Mason FLL team. Students were excited to jump up to catch the ball as the robot launched it across the room while others drove the VEX robot. It was really great to see the new members of the team connect with the elementary students, making sure all were safe around the robot and even sharing a dance or two! Prior to the night, students helped judge science fair entries which were also on display for parents that night. We had tons of kids take interest in the robot and we really loved being able to connect the kids’ experiences with robotics to our own robotics experiences!

===Burnette Science Night===
[[File:2016Burnette.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The Robo Lions at Burnette Science Night]]
On February 11th, the team attended their first Burnette Elementary’s Science Night. It was great to drive around our 2014 FRC robot and our VEX Outreach robot, as we had lots of interest and answered tons of great questions. We spoke with Ms. Reed, the Principal, about furthering their robotics program, and are excited to continue working with the school!

===Lawrenceville Rotary Club Meeting===
Seven enthusiastic members of the Peachtree Ridge High School Robotics Team presented information about their activities to the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville on April 4. [[2016]] [[Drive Team]] and [[2016]] [[Executives |Executive Officers]] described how the competitions worked and how the group went about preparing their robots for the competitions. The group is not only about engineering and business tasks; it is about building relationships, developing leadership skills, engaging in teamwork, and outreaching within the community. They displayed two of their robots and showed a video about the “Robo Lions spirit” that won a prize at a recent competition.

Attendance Clock

2017-01-21T15:56:32Z

Jane: /* Opening the fingerprint scanner application on PC */

The attendance clock was adopted in [[2015]] when [[Scott Karlins]] introduced the device to the team. It is a fingerprint scanner that takes a member's fingerprint and logs in their hours for certain events or general team meetings. This is used to compile hours gathered by members over the year to see if they are eligible to earn a robotics varsity letter.

=How it Works=
The team has a laptop dedicated for this fingerprint scanner's operations.

==Opening the fingerprint scanner application on PC==
#Plug in flash drive found in fingerprint scanner package
#Use USB cable to connect the fingerprint scanner device onto the PC. Wait for fingerprint scanner to power up.
#Open files on the flash drive, and locate the folder labeled “RAMS”
#Open the RAS application
#Once opened, the RAS application should reveal a login box where you enter a password. The password is “RoboLions!” (as of 2015)
#Once logged in, the main screen should appear. It should have options such as creating a new user, device management, attendance management, etc

===Logging in to the fingerprint scanner device===
#Make sure the fingerprint scanner is either plugged into a nearby outlet or a PC in order to power itself up
#Press the MENU button after the main screen has opened on the device
#This should prompt the device to display the word “Manager?” on the screen. Your user/ID card must be made a manager in order to manage the device.
#To log in as a manager, enter your user ID number. This is the number you are assigned when you are created an ID card on the fingerprint scanner device.
#Enter in your password. The default password for a manager is 1261.
#This should prompt you to a page of different options, such as User, Log data, U-Disk, Setting, and About

====Editing an existing ID card to create a new User ID Card====
#This is the first step in adding a new member to the fingerprint scanner system. First, make sure you have cleared the ID cards of discontinued members of the team from the roster that can be found on the PC application. Do not delete them completely; this can be replaced with new members’ information. #Instead, delete the fingerprints and edit the name/gender/cardID.
#To delete fingerprints from an ID card, you must have the fingerprint scanner device open to the main page. Navigate to menu → user → delete and locate the particular ID card using the roster that can be found on the fingerprint scanner PC application. Use the arrow keys to select fingerprints to delete. Make sure to delete both fingerprint scans of the previous user. Make sure to also select “Get all Enroll” in device management of the PC application in order to sync both medias.
#To edit the ID card, you must use the fingerprint scanner PC application. Locate the user+ option and select the specified user. Right click on the user and select edit, and you are able to clear the name/gender/cardID as needed. Be sure to select the second tab of the ID card labeled: “Extend Info” to clear the user’s title.

====Creating a new User ID Card from scratch====
#Open the fingerprint scanner PC application.
#Locate the user+ option. There is a plus sign at the top of the page that enables you to create a new ID card. Click this and fill in all of the necessary information found below:
#*Enroll ID/Card ID
#*Name (enter in the member’s full name)
#*User ID (this should be the same as the enroll/card ID number)
#*Gender
#*Default attendance should display as followed: Duty, Robotics.
#*Default password should be entered at the User ID
#There is another page that should be edited. Look at the top of the window and click the second tab labeled “Extend Info”
#*Un-select the boxes labeled: 1st lock, 2nd lock
#*Fill in the title name (first name.last initial; like the @prhsrobotics email accounts)
#Done! Now, you must sync the information to the device. Navigate to the fingerprint scanner application and locate the device management option. Click “Upload all enroll”
#Wait for the device to finish syncing. Check to make sure the sync has worked by logging in on the device and checking the roster using manager login, and selecting “user” → “Enroll” and navigate using the arrow keys or the number keys.

====Adding in fingerprints to an existing ID card====
#You must have created a correlating ID card on the fingerprint scanner application and have it uploaded on the device in order to add new fingerprints. You cannot add fingerprints that won’t be going anywhere!
#Log in to the fingerprint scanner device.
#Select “user” → “enter”. Navigate the roster using the arrows/numbers key by user ID number.
#Ask the person to swipe the scanner 3 times each with one hand’s index finger. The page should prompt the question, “Continue”. Enter “yes” and swipe the other hand’s index finger 3 times.
#When complete, exit to the main page of the device. Navigate the fingerprint scanner PC application and click “Device management”
#Select “get all enroll” to sync fingerprints with the PC app.
#Wait until scanner has finished syncing and test the sync completion by having the person swipe the scanner.

First, make sure you have cleared the ID cards of discontinued members of the team from the roster that can be found on the PC application. Do not delete them completely; this can be replaced with new members’ information. #Instead, delete the fingerprints and edit the name/gender/cardID.
#To delete fingerprints from an ID card, you must have the fingerprint scanner device open to the main page. Navigate to menu → user → delete and locate the particular ID card using the roster that can be found on the fingerprint scanner PC application. Use the arrow keys to select fingerprints to delete. Make sure to delete both fingerprint scans of the previous user. Make sure to also select “Get all Enroll” in device management of the PC application in order to sync both medias.
#To edit the ID card, you must use the fingerprint scanner PC application. Locate the user+ option and select the specified user. Right click on the user and select edit, and you are able to clear the name/gender/cardID as needed. Be sure to select the second tab of the ID card labeled: “Extend Info” to clear the user’s title.

===Creating a new User ID Card from scratch===
#Open the fingerprint scanner PC application.
#Locate the user+ option. There is a plus sign at the top of the page that enables you to create a new ID card. Click this and fill in all of the necessary information found below:
#*Enroll ID/Card ID
#*Name (enter in the member’s full name)
#*User ID (this should be the same as the enroll/card ID number)
#*Gender
#Default attendance should display as followed: Duty, Robotics.
#Default password should be entered at the User ID
#There is another page that should be edited. Look at the top of the window and click the second tab labeled “Extend Info”
#*Un-select the boxes labeled: 1st lock, 2nd lock
#*Fill in the title name (first name.last initial; like the @prhsrobotics email accounts)
#Done! Now, you must sync the information to the device. Navigate to the fingerprint scanner application and locate the device management option. Click “Upload all enroll”
#Wait for the device to finish syncing. Check to make sure the sync has worked by logging in on the device and checking the roster using manager login, and selecting “user” → “Enroll” and navigate using the arrow keys or the number keys.

===Adding in fingerprints to an existing ID card===
#You must have created a correlating ID card on the fingerprint scanner application and have it uploaded on the device in order to add new fingerprints. You cannot add fingerprints that won’t be going anywhere!
#Log in to the fingerprint scanner device.
#Select “user” → “enter”. Navigate the roster using the arrows/numbers key by user ID number.
#Ask the person to swipe the scanner 3 times each with one hand’s index finger. The page should prompt the question, “Continue”. Enter “yes” and swipe the other hand’s index finger 3 times.
#When complete, exit to the main page of the device. Navigate the fingerprint scanner PC application and click “Device management”
#Select “get all enroll” to sync fingerprints with the PC app.
#Wait until scanner has finished syncing and test the sync completion by having the person swipe the scanner.

Attendance Clock

2017-01-21T15:54:37Z

Jane: /* How it Works */

The attendance clock was adopted in [[2015]] when [[Scott Karlins]] introduced the device to the team. It is a fingerprint scanner that takes a member's fingerprint and logs in their hours for certain events or general team meetings. This is used to compile hours gathered by members over the year to see if they are eligible to earn a robotics varsity letter.

=How it Works=
The team has a laptop dedicated for this fingerprint scanner's operations.

==Opening the fingerprint scanner application on PC==
#Plug in flash drive found in fingerprint scanner package
#Use USB cable to connect the fingerprint scanner device onto the PC. Wait for fingerprint scanner to power up.
#Open files on the flash drive, and locate the folder labeled “RAMS”
#Open the RAS application
#Once opened, the RAS application should reveal a login box where you enter a password. The password is “RoboLions!” (as of 2015)
#Once logged in, the main screen should appear. It should have options such as creating a new user, device management, attendance management, etc

===Logging in to the fingerprint scanner device===
#Make sure the fingerprint scanner is either plugged into a nearby outlet or a PC in order to power itself up
#Press the MENU button after the main screen has opened on the device
#This should prompt the device to display the word “Manager?” on the screen. Your user/ID card must be made a manager in order to manage the device.
#To log in as a manager, enter your user ID number. This is the number you are assigned when you are created an ID card on the fingerprint scanner device.
#Enter in your password. The default password for a manager is 1261.
#This should prompt you to a page of different options, such as User, Log data, U-Disk, Setting, and About

2017 FIRST Steamworks

2017-01-20T00:47:29Z

Jane:

[[File:SteamworksLogo.jpg|thumb|250px|right|The logo for the 2017 game.]]
'''FIRST Steamworks''' was the FRC game in 2017.
==Game Overview==
In FIRST Steamworks, alliances work to prepare their airships for launch at the end of the match. They do this by inserting fuel (small whiffle balls) into the boiler to build steam pressure and delivering gears to the airship to power its rotors. At the end of the match, ropes are lowered from the airships, and robots can climb up them to be ready for takeoff. Points are awarded for the amount of fuel put in the boiler, for successfully activating any airship rotors, and for climbing onto the rope at the end of the match.

==Field Overview==
[[File:SteamworksField.png|800px|center]]
[[File:SteamworksFieldLabeled.png|800px|center]]
The field is divided into two red and blue launchpads (one for each alliance) demarcated by the launchpad line. In between the two launchpads is the neutral zone. Each launchpad features a retrieval zone, an area where human players can feed recycled fuel and gears into the robot, and a key, a small area in front of the boiler marked off with tape matching the alliance's color. The boiler is in the bottom two corners of the field bordering the launchpad, and the airships are located at the edge of each launchpad.
===Boiler===
The boiler is the machine that converts fuel into steam pressure. There is one for each alliance in the corner opposite to the scoring table. They have a high goal and a low goal. The high goal has a funnel shape and processes fuel at a higher efficiency, meaning less fuel must be used up to build up steam pressure. The low goal is simply a 2 ft. 1 in. opening in the boiler, and it processes fuel at a lower efficiency (see scoring section). The high efficiency goal is surrounded by a net and is made so that all missed shots will roll back onto the field.
===Airship===
The airship features the rotors and climbing rope that robots climb at the end of the match. The airship is also unique in that it requires at least 1 human player known as the pilot to be inside of it to place and spin gears, making it the first game where a person is allowed on the field during gameplay.

There can be a max of 2 pilots per alliance. Robots deliver gears to the airship, specifically to one of the 3 lifts facing the alliance station. The pilot then pulls on a cable to bring the gears up and places the gear on the airship to activate the motors. The steam tank is also in the airship, which is the large center of it. It has LED lights of the alliance color on it indicating how much steam pressure has been built up. Each 10 kPa generated will activate one row of LEDs in a white color, while an additional 10 will turn that row the alliance's color. Lastly, the airship also features a structure known as the davit, which is where the ropes are stored. During the last 30 seconds, the pilots will deploy the ropes from the davit. The robot must climb all the way up the rope and touch the touchpad at the top of the rope to get points for climbing.
===Retrieval Zone and Loading Lane===
When fuel enters the boiler, they will eventually exit out into a return bin in the Alliance station. The human player must make sure that when a return bin or any overflow bin is full, they must go and empty it in through the retrieval zone. Robots may enter the retrieval zone, and human players can feed in balls or gears to the robot. A special area known as the loading lane is provided so that human players can easily walk from the retrieval zone to the alliance station without interrupting the robot drivers.
===Key===
The key is simply a small, taped-off area in front of the boilers. It is there so teams can input fuel into the low efficiency goal. It has no major function; however, robots cannot spend more than 5 seconds in the opposing alliance's key, or they will receive a foul.

==Fall 2016: VEX Robotics==
As we do in the fall, the team participated in the 2016 VEX Game, [[2016 Starstruck | Starstruck]]. The club was split up into 7 subteams on August 23, and had 12 weeks to build a robot to compete in the game. This year, school was also held off on Election Day, which happened to be one of our VEX Meeting days. An optional meeting was held for teams who still needed that build day.
===VEX Qualifier: Robots at the Ridge===
The VEX Qualifier: Robots at the Ridge was held at PRHS on November 19. Over 50 teams from over Georgia, with some coming from as far as Knoxville, Tennessee. They all gathered to take place in the 2016 VEX Game, VEX Starstruck. One of the 1261 Subteams made it to quarterfinals, but sadly did not go past that. Still, it was a great event overall, and all students enjoyed their time there! We also had many people stay after and clean up, which helped us clean up the entire school commons in only an hour! Congratulations to our first place winners:
*Captain: 3921B "Beta" from Carrollton, GA
*1st pick: 1961E "South Forsyth Eaglebots" from Cumming, GA
*2nd pick: 7201P "Marist Penguins" from Atlanta, GA 
We also congratulate the following award-winning teams:
*Excellence Award: 675E "RoboDragons E" from Lawrenceville, GA
*Judges Award: 31415R "Domo Arigato" from Cumming, GA

==Fall 2016: Outreach Activities==
===Suwanee Parade===
[[File:2017STEMHeroes.jpg|250px|thumb|right|2017 STEM Heroes of Suwanee: the Robo Lions!]]
On September 17, 2016, the Robo Lions marched valiantly through Suwanee, donned with masks and heroic capes. This year's parade theme was "Super Suwanee, Super People!". The team took home the "Most Entertaining Group" award from the judges.

===Duluth Fall Festival===
On September 24, 2016, the Robo Lions attended the Duluth Fall Festival once again. They shot t-shirts and beach balls with the assistance of [[Jeff]] and [[Genesis]] from the back of their parade float.
The event was filled with fun, excitement, and thunderous pride as our team took to the streets cheering about our love of STEM. We made lots of new friends and connections within the community, as it stands as a memory that will never be forgotten. We used our superhero theme from the Suwannee Day Parade, and everyone fulfilled their roles of being superheroes beautifully.

===Maker Faire===
On the weekend of October 1-2, some of the Robo Lions set up and maintained a booth at Maker Faire Atlanta. The team debuted an interactive display which helped us teach visitors to our booth about the sensors which make us successful on the field. We had a steady stream of visitors both days with kids driving VEX Robots and exploring our FRC Robots while we helped to connect our community to the STEM opportunities in their area. We were recognized for our set up and had a great time catching up with our fellow FRC Teams before GRITS!

===Ridge Run 5K Color Run===
On October 19, 2016, the Robo Lions were invited to kickoff the Ridge Color Run by shooting colorful flour out of Jeff the t-shirt robot. See [http://wiki.prhsrobotics.com/index.php?title=How-To:_Color_Run_Preparation How to: Color Run Preparation] to see how we succeeded in doing so.

===TE Sessions===
This year, Georgia FIRST, in collaboration with the Robojackets, held various Technology Enrichment sessions where one team would teach others on some crucial aspects of Robotics. We held two of our own sessions.
====Raspberry Pi and Vision Tracking====
On October 15th, the Robo Lions hosted a TE Session focused on helping other FRC teams understanding how to effectively use raspberry pis, which are small single-boarded computers that are used for processing the code that lies within the robot. It was a great experience, and we saw many people there, both new and old. Many concepts such as HSV-based color, contour tracking, and PID control were discussed. The programming team also gave tips on how to use a vision tracking system more efficiently. There was also a Q&A given at the end of the session to address any of confusion. This session was recorded by the RoboJackets; [http://prhsrobotics.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4dfc28ec565342f7298dc7b32&id=1e73f35cb1&e=3ff57b8829 click here] to view a recording.
====Effective Social Media====
On October 29th, we hosted a TE Session that focused on having effective social media. We presented to teams about how to manage social media effectively and how to use each form of social media to its fullest extent. Many FRC teams attended, which enabled us to meet and interact with many people we've never met. We gained insight and perspective from a wide variety of teams, so even though we were hosting the event, we got a couple of things out of it as well.

===Trunk or Treat===
The team did have a trunk at PRHS's second annual Trunk or Treat, where kids go from trunk to trunk, trick or treating in a safe environment. The team's trunk was a Star Wars based trunk, showing the cockpit view of the Millennium Falcon. The team showed off the VEX outreach bot, Kobe.

===Other School Events===
The Robo Lions attended many events hosted at PRHS during the fall. This includes, but isn't limited to, the home football games, the Asian American College Fair, and Ridge Run. At most of these events, the Robo Lions showcased Jeff the T-Shirt Robot.

==Side Activities==
===Parody Video===
The team once again participated in the FIRST Parody contest. This year, the team decided to make a parody of the song "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey. The parody was named "Don't Stop Buildin'", and can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xb5AcKW8Lwo here.]
===End of Season Video===

==Spring 2017: FRC==
Due to chilly weather and possibility of icy roads/snow, the team opted to hold kickoff at home. Most of the veterans separated themselves by gender and held sleepovers at corresponding houses, eager to watch the game reveal the next morning. 2017 Kickoff brought the reveal of FIRST Steamworks, a steampunk-themed gamed that combines a variety of challenges for each alliance to "power their aircraft" and "prepare for takeoff!"

==Off-Season FRC Activities==
===GRITS===
The Robo Lions attended GRITS at Riverside Military Academy on October 22, 2016. They played alongside many other Georgia teams, and they ended qualifications as the 3rd seeded alliance captain. Forming an alliance with Team 2974 (Walton) and Team 4188 (Columbus Space Program), they made it all the way to the semifinals before accepting defeat. They did not go home empty-handed, though. With over 30 rookies, the team was able to take home the Outreach award for the third year in a row and got quite a nifty Portcullis styled trophy.

Competition Preparations

2016-12-09T14:53:48Z

Jane: /* Chairmans */

Below are some checklists made every year in preparation for the various competitions attended by the Robo Lions.

==Organization of Members==
===Rooming===
Make a spreadsheet for students (make sure to include role, phone number, car and room arrangements, and a place to check forms and payment).
*If staying at a hotel during competition, team members must bring luggage and forms to the team at least 2 days prior to competition.
===Roles===
Make sure all members are fully briefed on their roles
*Have scouting meetings (pull from the prelim scouting meeting power points, scouting leads should modify year by year)
*Have a well rehearsed chairman’s team
*Have data analysis people practice Tableau
*Drive team roles should be well divided (who talks to teams, who follows the robot around fixing problems, who manages strategy)
*Would be preferable to have pair scouts at all times, so that no one gets lost or make it possible to switch scouting
*Make sure each member has a team shirt to wear at competition

==Liability Forms==
*Teacher signature form
*Info form about competition and travel arrangements
*Insurance and parent form
*Liability waiver
*GA FIRST waiver (once a season)

==Lists==
===Packing===
Edit the basic packing list to include robot replacement parts specific to that year - consult build leads and mentors
===Devices===
Make a devices list for that year: include laptops and tablets being taken and who is responsible for them
Make sure that on packing night the people in charge of devices take theirs and carry them to competition (divide up between scouts and programmers)

==Handouts==
===Buttons===
Make sure that buttons are made (probably about 300 for district level competition)
==Robot==
*Make sure that robot info sheets are made and printed.
*Make sure that electrical diagrams are made and printed
*Make sure that the bill of materials (CAW) is complete (with mentor approval) and is printed and put into the rule book.
*A list should be compiled of what needs to be done on the robot once it is unbagged on load in night. It should be detailed and have the people responsible listed.

==Pit==
Talk with safety captains on role
*Batteries
*Pit cleanliness
*Enforcing safety rules (number of people in pit, safety glasses)
To-Do
*Check the safety box for all necessary equipment (see safety captain manual)
*Set up green flash drive with any necessary pit videos (that year’s chairman’s video, etc.)
*Put down floor tiles
*Take everything that’s not boxes off of wire shelf (this includes metal, etc.)
*Put everything that belongs on wire shelf onto wire shelf
**Boxes of screws
**Safety box
**Safety glasses
**Monitor
**Toolboxes
**Batteries
*Unpack batteries and chargers and start charging immediately (batteries should go on second shelf of wire rack)
*Get out gray cart and set up laptops there
*Set up curtains and banner in the back of the pit
*Set up tools on back table
**Drill press
**Bandsaw
**Vices
**Belt sander
*Set up FRC banner thing in the front of the pit
*Set up monitor
*Put on top of wire shelf (make sure it is zip-tied securely)
*Load videos from flash drive
*Have pit crew practice judge talks about robot and team

==Scouting==
===Scouting Postitions===
Make sure that there are appointed head scouts that are responsible for pit or stand scouts.
===Scouts===
Make sure that each scout knows which team they need to be scouting at which times and that they always have a device ready to input data.
====Materials====
Take a power strip and portable batteries up to the stands so the stand scouts don't run out of battery while scouting the entire day.
===Tableau===
Make sure Tableau is on a minimum of 3 laptops (codes can be pulled from TIMS)
===App===
*Make sure all students have accounts and have been approved by admin
*Input live scouting and pre-scouting forms
*Input team lists for pre-scouting
*Once match schedule has been released, the lead stand scout at competition should put them in immediately.

==Chairmans==
*Make sure that all Chairman’s materials for that year are prepared - these should stay with the Chairman’s presentation team lead
*Make sure video is on a flash drive
*Have essays printed in Chairman’s packet
*Judge’s sheet
*Any other things (copy of business plan, buttons, etc.)
*Media waivers - make sure to print extras to give to other teams (they always forget)
===Assigning Tasks===
It has been proven useful to make a timeline visually so that tasks are completed by the desired deadline. Below is a generic template made by [[Caroline Means]] in [[2017]].
