Engineering H193 - Team Project Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 16Spring Quarter 2005 The Next Activity Collect Coupons from Teams in exchange for the Starter Kits (see list of Starter Kit components on the next page) View a video about the starter kit and about caring for the HandyBoard. Remember teams are responsible for the care and housing for their robots, notebooks, HandyBoard, etc. Also Remember !! – Your team is officially designated with a letter and number – A-5, B-7, etc. All items will be assigned by team designation. All submittals must carry the team designation. There will be specifications later for your robot ‘flag’ or label that will carry the team designation for the competition.
