Get Excited About Robotics – Journal Entries 1/21/10

Journalist: Brooklyn E      Team Name: Robot Brains
We’re still making our robot. Well not really because we’re done with the robot parts. We’re just programming it. We’re going to go try it. Well it didn’t work this time but I bet it well next time. It did good. So it’s time to go bye. See you later alligator.

Today’s task is the same as last week’s task. We build the robot and made a program to run the taped P. Well we have gotten half of that done. We finished our robot but the programmers are still trying to make a program to run the P. The group leader is helping another engineer with their robot. The programmers are of course making the program. The person who helps us with journalism isn’t here. (By the way her name is Mrs. Pendleton.) She is with the 6th graders helping start GEAR at LMS. We are going to compete against them in the big competition. I’m scared and excited at the same time! Now our team leader is messing with the pieces in the kit and making new things for the robot while the robot charges and the programmers work. As soon as I’m done with writing what going on I’ll help her. The programmers are done and are going to test it out to see if it will work. And our team leader is seeing if the robot is charged. And there she goes off to help the other person with their robot. Ok, well, I’d better go and help where help with the robot. :D

Today’s tasks are for the programmers to make the robots run and the engineers to build the robots. Most kids are messing with the parts and pieces and the robots. My team the
Megatrons is almost finished. The have their robot built and have put the program into the robot. Right now they are test running it. Let’s hope that next week my team of Ashley L, Caleb M, Grant S, and Chancey C can get their robot working and running.

Today we are still building our robots. Mayce our team leader is not here today so we have to continue without her awwwwww! Sydney is the only person that is building the robot and Leandra is trying her best to make our program! Poor Sydney is all alone having to do it by herself!!! I am typing on the Neo. Mrs. Carr and the whole GEAR team has decided that we will stay till 5:30 instead of 5:00. I forgot to mention Mayce is at a stock show. Several people are not here today. Now I have to go take pictures. BYE! Ok I am back (ha)! There are several things that have been going on lately like ever since I started GEAR. Since the first day we have learned so much about robots and programming and engineering!!!! Some people have already got there robots built! Guess what, we have our robot built. So now Leandra has to program it. Going to help bye!
