For our second meeting on November 14, we talked about name options some more. The two top names ended up being Digicorns (portmanteau of Digital and Unicorns) and Rockets. My preferred name from last year, Botrockers, didn't make the final list, which was unfortunate. I told them we would decide between the two names the next week after they had a chance to think about it and make sure they felt good about it.
We also finished building the stock robot this day. A few of the missions were built, so we could show how to do them. We also watched some videos of other people solving the various missions. They had a homework assignment to go home and watch some videos of the various missions and decide which ones they wanted to work on, based on what they thought they could realistically accomplish.
A big issue at this point was realizing the competition is going to be on January 5, instead of February 2, giving us a month less time to get ready.
