The Dragonbotz robotics team
recently went to watch a movie called “Robot & Frank.” “Robot & Frank”
is a movie based on a senior who is given a robot to assist him. Frank, the
senior, is against the move in the beginning, but then realizes that it was all
he ever needed. This movie really depicts the everyday struggle seniors have and
how help is always needed. This movie revolutionizes a house nurse into a life sized
robot. You never know. Maybe, in a few years, robots will help us all! Don’t
forget go and see “Robot and Frank”!

The 2012 Maker Faire at the Hall of Science, on September
30, was a huge success for the FIRST LEGO League team the Dragonbotz. We were there to talk about the FIRST and the FLL new season.
Our robot was designed to
complete a
mission from the 2012-13 FLL Senior Solutions competition. In this case, the problem
was that a Lego chair was separated into two parts; one was on the field, and
one was in base. Our robot went onto the field to drag the piece of the chair on
the field into base. In base, members connected the two chair parts. Then finally, the robot pushed the completed chair back onto the field and positioned it under the table. This successful mission was a result of the team thinking, building, programming, and testing.
Alongside showcasing our robot, we also spent some time presenting our
Dragonbotz posterboard. Everyone had a great time.

Welcome to our blog site!
We are a FLL, FIRST LEGO League robotics team. Our team name is DragonbotZ, and we are participating in the 2012-2013 "Senior Solutions" FIRST robotics competition.
During the next few months, we will be brainstorming, building, and researching to ultimately create a robot that will compete in the Robot Design and Game Performance. Will we also be doing research into to the needs of our senior citizens and hope to develop a solution that can improve the lives of senior citizens. As of now, we are finding out what problems are facing our senior citizens. Feel free to post a comment of any thoughts you might have about senior citizens. Thank you.
