Is it ok to post a new blog every year? I think so. Anyway, I guess I'll update how things are going for me.
It's Saturday today, and I'm getting ready to start studying for finals and get one last report done. I just don't feel like doing it. I'll do it right after this though so I can get done and go and play a bit.
I'm taking a class called Mechatronics at school and we are designing a robot that pulls a chariot. The robot part of it has to have legs and not wheels so it makes the design a little harder. Here is a movie of it:
It goes pretty well, but there are a few things that we need to fix. You can see it walk for a few seconds and then go backwards a bit. This is because the motors don't go at the same speeds. We'll fix it and I'll put up another video when it is doing better.
Next semester we have to make it think. We will put sensors on it and write a computer program so that it can know when to turn. It has to race in a chariot race around a figure 8 track. It should be fun, but a lot of work.
My other classes are going well. They have been a lot of work and I'm glad that they are almost over. There's just finals to go now.
Other than that, there hasn't been a whole lot going on. I'm learning to play the guitar. I can play Silent Night. It's pretty fun. Me and my friend made a deal that I would teach him violin if he would teach me the guitar. That's how it works.
Well I'm going to go start studying.

Yay! A new post!!! Your thing you made is neat. My kids liked it. They think you're cool.
Allston loved it too! He even tried to crawl to get it and he is a little lazy so he has to really want something to actually work to get it. Adam you are very smart and your robot is neat. Can you make me a robot that can do dishes? That would be the greatest thing in the world. But I guess they have already invented that, it's called a dishwasher man I would like one of those too!

Good job on posting Adam. Remember way back in the day when you said you'd be beating me with posting on your blog? You're not doing a very good job of that.
I am winning Brenda. :) What makes you think that you are?
Because I'm always the winner. Also, I'm trying to give you incentive to post more.
