Weeks 7,8,9

Wow, the weeks are going by fast! 

we've definitely made some great progress in all fields.  The mission and building groups have started completing missions and i think we're ready to start putting things together.  

Despite all that we've had many many issues with our robot, so much so that i had the team build a secondary robot just in case..that too works well.  

But i think we're buckling down with our initial design and making it work no matter what! 

The research team has been working on  scripts and design for their presentation, but we definitely need to clean up and make sure that our information is good and correct and that the stuff we have is clean.  

Time is getting short, we have to prepare for the tournament no matter where we are...all that coming soon! 

also we've gotten saturday space at suffern HS! what a great treat, so much space to utilize and i wish there were more teams for us to work with there.  We almost left a robot there, luckily someone was able to pick it up and bring it back! 

antartica

Glaciers are tons of snow that start to move out and down because they are so heavy.
They cover over 10% of the earth.
They erode the ground beneath them.
75% of the world's fresh water is frozen into glacier water!
Glaciers originate on land from snowfall that doesn't me in the summer after several years!

The Antarctic ice sheet is losing as much as 36 cubic miles of ice a year.
The continent holds 90 percent of the world's ice, and the disappearance of even its smaller West Antarctic ice sheet could raise worldwide sea levels by an estimated 20 feet.
