JD M. - OwlBots Programmer - 7th grade
Boooo! The required file is broken! This software error message repeatedly haunted Winston and I as we desperately tried to program our "lever" program. The object of this mission is to have the robot lift up a tire to represent physical therapy on the mission board. Our biggest fear was that the broken file error message meant we had to re-program everything we had done so far. The scary thing was that it happened on every robot, and on every computer we tried. Even when we made a completely different program, it still did not work. Finally we came to a conclusion, get Darius, a member of the Owlbots and an excellent programmer. Darius and several of the other of the programmers from the Owlbots and the Green Machine came over to help. Eventually we had to re-install the Mindstorms software on to the computer and, finally, it worked.
What this means is no matter what obstacle we face, as a team we will always find a solution! And you can expect weird technical glitches on Halloween.
