Logbook

This year at Robotech, we are launching a logbook to share everything we do throughout the season. We are very excited and eager to take on this new challenge with energy and commitment.

The logbook will be a space where we explain how we organize ourselves, how we work, and how we evolve as a team over the course of the season. The goal is not only to document our experience but also to inspire other teams by sharing everything we do, discover, and create so you can make it your own and take it even further.

We firmly believe that knowledge should circulate and not remain only with us. That’s why we make our journey and learnings available to everyone.

Additionally, our FLLPlanner is available: a step-by-step guide full of tools and tips to help you achieve great results.

1 - Start of the season: first meeting and goals

We held the first meeting of the season where we defined the goals we wanted to achieve both as a team and individually.

Each member shared what they hoped to improve and accomplish during the season.

This helped us start with clarity and commitment, strengthening teamwork and better preparing us for the challenges ahead.

2 - Task distribution

Together, we divided the tasks according to each team member’s strengths.

This made it easier for everyone to work in a more organized and efficient way.

We believed that organizing ourselves like this would help us progress better and avoid confusion.

3 - Material organization

We took the time to carefully and thoughtfully sort all the pieces. This task was essential to know exactly what we had and what we were missing. Although it was a repetitive job, we understood that it was key to avoiding mistakes later on.

We held brief meetings to assign responsibilities so we could move forward more orderly. Having everything organized from the start allowed us to focus better on the more creative and technical parts when the time came.

This preparation gave us confidence and helped prevent possible setbacks during the construction and programming of the project.

4 – Review and shopping list

We finished reviewing all the pieces we were missing to have every type. We carefully identified each item to create a clear and precise shopping list of what was needed.

This way, we made sure to buy only what was truly necessary, avoiding unnecessary expenses and having everything we needed to keep moving forward.

This process helped us prepare a solid foundation to start building the project missions.

5 – Mission construction

We began turning our 3D designs into real structures that we could touch and test. We worked patiently, adjusting details and solving problems as they came up.

This process reminded us of the importance of staying flexible and creative as we progressed. We followed each step carefully to ensure a solid build.

This stage gave us confidence and laid the groundwork to keep improving the project.

6 – Cleaning and preparing the board

We removed the missions from the previous season to clear the space. Then, we thoroughly cleaned the board to have a well-prepared surface.

Once clean, we placed a mat from a previous season but flipped upside down, intending to avoid visual distractions and mark the beginning of a new stage.

7 – Comparative programming tests

We conducted tests to compare two programming systems: Spike and Pybricks. We had each robot repeat the same route at maximum speed, intentionally causing errors to measure accuracy.

After several repetitions, we observed that Pybricks had much better precision and made fewer mistakes than Spike.

Based on these results, we decided to use Pybricks as our main system for the season.

8 – Attachments construction

We set to work building specific attachments for each mission. In just one day, we managed to have seven functional attachments, designed from the simplest to the most complex.

This work allowed us to optimize the launches and prepare the combination of accessories for the final attachments of each route.

9 – Preparation of project bases

We began preparing databases to organize the information that would allow us to contact experts and arrange related visits.

We gathered and classified the information in an orderly way to make it easier to access and manage the necessary contacts and resources.

This work was important because the initial sources we obtained provided relevant information that will help build a solid proposal.

10 – Individual training

Four team members participated in training courses. Marc took a course on organization and public speaking, followed by one on Python and artificial intelligence, both in Barcelona, while Àneu started learning Python from home. Sergi and Julià attended a Python course at UdL. This diverse training enriched us both individually and as a team.

Investing time in learning and exploring gave us new ideas and motivation to keep working enthusiastically.

We are convinced that this solid and varied foundation will be key to successfully facing the challenges of the season.

11 – Visit to the Archaeology Museum

Marc took advantage of his stay in Barcelona to visit the Archaeology Museum.

It was a cultural experience that offered us a new perspective and inspiration for the project.

The combination of technical training and cultural experiences enriched our approach.
