WEBVTT 00:06.210 --> 00:09.060 See . Ok . 00:10.619 --> 00:14.159 I like , you know , 00:16.260 --> 00:20.079 oh , you sh banana . But the pass . 00:21.110 --> 00:23.959 Hi , I'm Malcolm in no , from code 2330 . 00:24.510 --> 00:26.566 So today we're here competing at the 00:26.566 --> 00:28.399 University of Hawaii at the Stan 00:28.399 --> 00:30.454 Sheriff Center at the first robotics 00:30.454 --> 00:32.399 competition . Uh , Hawaii Regional 00:36.529 --> 00:40.360 Way Brighter . It is . So this is 00:40.369 --> 00:42.480 one of many regionals that , uh , you 00:42.480 --> 00:44.520 can compete in across the world . 00:44.529 --> 00:47.360 There's over 3000 teams worldwide . Uh , 00:47.369 --> 00:49.709 and about 33 countries that compete in 00:49.720 --> 00:53.119 this program and number 00:53.130 --> 00:56.799 63 . All right . 00:57.729 --> 01:00.180 Uh , we're all competing to see , um , 01:00.250 --> 01:02.417 you know , which robot works well with 01:02.417 --> 01:04.417 other robots . Um , it's not always 01:04.417 --> 01:06.472 about the competition , the alliance 01:06.472 --> 01:08.639 that earns them most points , wins the 01:08.639 --> 01:10.889 match . We have , we have a thing here 01:10.900 --> 01:13.067 at first we call Cooper where you work 01:13.067 --> 01:15.122 together , uh , to , you know , lift 01:15.122 --> 01:17.289 each other's teams up and , you know , 01:17.289 --> 01:19.400 you find your weaknesses and you find 01:19.400 --> 01:21.567 your strengths and together , uh , you 01:21.567 --> 01:21.319 can kind of make your program better . 01:25.680 --> 01:27.910 You have to design , you have to build 01:27.919 --> 01:30.030 it , uh , you have to troubleshoot it 01:30.470 --> 01:33.089 and you have to program it all of that 01:33.099 --> 01:35.129 in a short six week period . So you 01:35.139 --> 01:37.250 spend your first week designing , you 01:37.250 --> 01:39.472 build your prototypes and if it doesn't 01:39.472 --> 01:41.819 work , no , and it appears to be stuck 01:41.830 --> 01:44.470 right now . Guess what ? You go back to 01:44.480 --> 01:46.647 square one or you make a little tweaks 01:46.647 --> 01:48.758 to your robot until you get the final 01:48.758 --> 01:50.813 product that you want . 359 looks to 01:50.813 --> 01:53.650 make the level three and they are 01:53.660 --> 01:55.827 successful . It looks like if they can 01:55.827 --> 01:58.069 hold it today or this is actually wivos 01:58.080 --> 02:00.358 third regional that we're competing in . 02:00.358 --> 02:02.636 They have stored three pieces of cargo . 02:02.636 --> 02:06.430 I scored it as well . They are killing 02:06.440 --> 02:09.529 it right now . So our robot has seen a 02:09.539 --> 02:11.809 lot of action already . Um We were 02:11.820 --> 02:13.820 fortunate to compete in Victoria in 02:13.820 --> 02:15.987 Canada and we were able to win there . 02:15.987 --> 02:18.153 We did also compete in San Diego where 02:18.153 --> 02:20.209 we did take some hard losses for the 02:20.209 --> 02:22.431 team . But uh the main thing is we take 02:22.431 --> 02:24.598 those , take those things and we learn 02:24.598 --> 02:24.289 from them and we make the team better . 02:26.919 --> 02:29.233 There is a reason why number one ranked 02:29.283 --> 02:32.212 team right now . So I , I volunteer um 02:32.223 --> 02:34.167 because I'm a big believer in this 02:34.167 --> 02:36.563 program uh for stem education . There's 02:36.572 --> 02:38.763 a lot about uh talk about problems 02:38.772 --> 02:41.263 nowadays uh that really need that stem 02:41.272 --> 02:45.102 approach to solve and uh making sure 02:45.113 --> 02:47.233 our kids um you from all different 02:47.242 --> 02:49.485 communities have that opportunity to 02:49.496 --> 02:51.856 know that they , they can , they can 02:51.865 --> 02:54.198 solve these kind of problems . They can , 02:54.198 --> 02:55.809 you know , develop something 02:55.809 --> 02:58.335 troubleshoot build test and actually 02:58.345 --> 03:00.401 have a product at the end , they can 03:00.401 --> 03:02.512 have a project . So this program here 03:02.512 --> 03:05.656 is merely a vehicle for that . Uh So 03:05.666 --> 03:07.455 for me , it's always bringing 03:07.466 --> 03:10.240 perspective . So , uh coming from , you 03:10.250 --> 03:12.361 know , thinking engineering is really 03:12.361 --> 03:14.306 hands on , uh but there's also the 03:14.306 --> 03:16.759 paperwork side . So in this program , 03:17.020 --> 03:19.242 we actually have a big rule book in the 03:19.242 --> 03:21.242 beginning and we gotta make sure we 03:21.242 --> 03:22.909 built the spec . So just like 03:22.909 --> 03:25.076 submarines , uh there's a spec and you 03:25.076 --> 03:27.187 have to meet the spec . And if you're 03:27.187 --> 03:29.298 not in spec , you gotta make sure you 03:29.298 --> 03:31.520 either make changes to your design or , 03:31.520 --> 03:33.464 you know , figure out that you fit 03:33.464 --> 03:35.687 within the rules . So that's , that's a 03:35.687 --> 03:35.270 big part of this because you can build 03:35.279 --> 03:37.979 a robot . Uh but it might not meet the 03:37.990 --> 03:40.101 rules and you can't compete with it . 03:40.101 --> 03:42.101 Me growing up in Wailua , that's my 03:42.101 --> 03:44.229 home and uh that's why I continue to 03:44.240 --> 03:46.296 help Wailua because I wanted to make 03:46.296 --> 03:48.407 sure that the opportunities that were 03:48.407 --> 03:50.629 given to me as a student in Wailua that 03:50.629 --> 03:52.629 making sure those opportunities are 03:52.629 --> 03:54.629 carried on to the next generation . 03:54.629 --> 03:56.684 What we're doing here today is we're 03:56.684 --> 03:58.796 preparing these students for the jobs 03:58.796 --> 03:58.664 of tomorrow because these , these 03:58.675 --> 04:00.897 students are the leaders that are gonna 04:00.897 --> 04:03.064 take the positions uh whether it be at 04:03.064 --> 04:05.286 Pearl Harbor or different companies and 04:05.286 --> 04:07.286 they're gonna be the leaders uh for 04:07.286 --> 04:09.453 whatever organization you decide to be 04:09.453 --> 04:10.220 a part of . But the pass .
