ROBOTICS!


Have anyone here seen an alive robot before? I have but not like this. This was like an ultra sonic robot that I built. It was nothing big, just a robot on wheels. This was extremely hard to program especially because some little things may take a big part in a robots world. Kyle was first finished and took the robot for a test drive and completed the course in no time. My computer weren't liking me today because the software wasn't down loading. I completed my planning today but the robot wasn't constructed properly.

Until next time,

"Ribbit, Rubbish, Ribbit, Rubbish!"

"Evening!"
To you and Nicola. At the start of the day we had to say what we had learnt over the holidays. You probably won't want to hear mine! Anyway here goes nothing. I learnt not to sit beside my Dad at any sort of sports because all you hear is Southland, Southland!" And literally I'm not joking! The first activity was the technology challenge. Our supplies were: newspaper, tape and scissors to make a chair. No, no a person doesn't have to sit on it, the Granddad frog had to. I suppose you may be wondering how we make this. Easy... not really! In my group there were Kyle, Jemmimah and Jacob. The furniture was hard. With bits and bobs all over the place the assembling was starting. With our final product underway judging came around. Not Darryn, Nicola or Katie were the judges. This was the kids time to shine! One kid from each group was a judge and one of them was me! Weighing the frog the there was two that stood our group and another. With my hands behind my back it was like I was Matt Preston. In first place was the other group Samaria, Tara and Reina. Josh said we came in second but there wasn't any second! 
P.S come to Enrich's furniture store !
