Robotex

For the robotex it was hard to get the robot done. I used the two things to get the marker up. I put my robot arms that picked up the marker. I put the scooper connected to a longer part then it connected to the motor. It then had a longer part that connected to a smaller part that went down. When it went down it connected to the motor . Because it connected to the motor it would go up and down and back and forth. It connected to the T-mikes part. Her part had a body then it had two wheels on the back and a foot with the wheel on the bottom. My part then went onto the top of hers and it was connected to a piece that split in half for each part of mine to stick on. I had one of the controllers that didn't use so I had to make be for the video. and it wouldn't load so pooh!!!

Recovery System

when we did the recovery system i thought it was going to be easy. It wasn't it took really long to be able to finish the parachute. I thought it was hard to be able to get the parachute good but when I finished it, it stayed up for about a couple seconds. Then it started to fall. It wasn't that great but I thought it was fine.

lego robotics

it was hard to make it do what you want it to.the robot would usually go in different directions. I wish Thalia was there longer because then i might have been able to have moved the rock. the cart would go strait for to long then turn in the wrong direction.

Thrust Structures


we wanted to make a very strong structure so we used triangles for most of the framing. it was able to survive being able to go up when the sand bag hit the board!!! it was very firm and it very structurly sound. this is a pic of our thing.

motion detecting

I though the motion detecting lab was fun. I had a good time walking back and forth. It was sort of hard though having to answer the questions during the hole thing. I thought that it was hard answering the last couple of questions because I didn't really get the questions right.

diving into a pool

It would take you longer to get into the pool. this is because there is less gravity pulling down on you. all so when you get into the water you will still be going slower. It would be harder to get to the bottom of the pool. As soon as you got to the bottom and you push off you would go faster upwards because there isn't as much gravity pushing you back down.

Romote repaires

it was a hard mission because we couldn't talk. We had to type everything so we wheren't able to talk to every one at once. I learned that it is very hard to try to talk to poeple with out talking to them. You didn't know what the other members of my
team where saying. but I think we did good at getting it partly done.

moon launch

it was hard to make the ship go up to the top of the wall. It would only go one inch then stop. I think we should have had more balloons and less other things. Having the money amount was difficult because we where hesitant about what we used.
