A week ago, the Robotics team held a barbecue in Schuman Park. For the people who showed up, there was food, board games, and gusts of wind strong enough to blow cards halfway across the pavilion and push a frisbee into the lake. The ensuing scramble to retrieve the frisbee took teamwork, engineering acumen, and a lot of duct tape. We eventually used a fishing rod duct taped to the end of a wooden beam with a hook made of baling wire in order to get the disc close enough to shore to bring in with chop sticks improvised from other wooden beams. It ended up being a great experience for both getting to know and working with some fellow team members as well as learning about makeshift frisbee retrieval mechanisms.
