Agenda: SOAR League Meets #2 & #3 at Fremont Middle School in Roseburg
In Attendance: Coach Chad, Coach Cynde, Hayden, Sean, Liam, Connie Kairon and Shannon (Kairon's Mom)

Tasks: Compete and have a good time!
Reflection: For Meet #1, we created an Autonomous scouting sheet, so Connie and Liam went to scout the teams we are competing against and find out their capabilities. We are here to push blocks, work the best we can with our alliance team and have a great time!
We had problems during the meet. In two matches, we were unable to drive because of connectivity issues. It's very troublesome when there are too many users on the internet at a match and it causes problems for the robots or when people turn on their hotspots. The League keeps asking for the audience to turn to airplane mode and use data, but there is always someone who forgets or refuses.
We didn't have a great strategy at the meets. We need the robot coach at the meets to push and guide the driver to strive for points and that's difficult to do when you haven't planned it that way. We got stuck on the platform one time. We were trying to push the platform and accidentally drove up on it and then were unable to drive off. In one of the matches, somehow, our controls got reversed on the keypad. We're not sure how that was accomplished, but reset everything and changed battery and got it working again. One match, one of the other teams was aggressive and kept hitting us and we dropped blocks and the foundation, but when we asked about a penalty, the referee said they were trying to score and did not appear to be hitting us on purpose. We ended near the bottom of the heap, but all took it in stride and are ready to make changes and get ready for the next competition.
