before the meeting.  Also feel free to bring a mobile base, and we may study attachments and logistics with it. 

Agenda 

The primary agenda will be...  "FLL 2010 Season Course".  Now that the details of the Body Forward challenge field, missions, and project are up, we will go through the field and missions [inside the real arena], and start having people think about that.  We may also go through the project quickly, and anything interesting from the Google event.

Note you don't have to be on a FLL Team to join... we are just using the season as a way to bring up topics.

Details -- FLL Season Course

• Interacting with the field
• Break into pairs or triplets 
• Study the field and pick an obstacle (or I may have a randomized hat for the obstacles)
• Read the rules about that obstacle / mission 
• Figure out how you would get from the base to the obstacle
• Create an apparatus (arm, pusher, etc.) that would work with the obstacle
• Try to describe on paper, how you would achieve success
