Today we went to the Robolympics at Tucson. Four teams were there then we competed and won second place. There was an obstacle course, bowling, dodgeball, blind driving through the obstacle corse, and croquet events.

November 12, 2010

Dillon, Carlos, Manuel, and I were gluing the pvc props together. After we glued everything we stood up the base in the playroom.

November 11, 2010

Today there was no school so we didn't do anything for robotics.

November 10, 2010

Today I finished drawing the NURC props on sketchup. Now I am just waiting for Jerry to come and tell what to build if there is anything left and I'll draw the 3D model on sketchup.

November 9, 2010

Today I kept on working on the sketching the NURC props. I am almost done with them. We released the NURC mission video on Friday.

November 8, 2010

Today Jerry came and told the NURC prop building people what to do. New props were built so I started to draw them on sketchup. I also worked on getting the hypothetical field setup.

November 5, 2010

Today I finished sketching the last NURC prop in Google Sketchup that we need for the video. Now we are going to get screenshots and put it in the video. We are hoping the NURC video will be finished and out by today.

November 4, 2010

Today I finished another NURC prop in sketchup.

November 3, 2010

Today Eddie, Liz, Rangel, Dillon, and I went to University of Public Schools to mentor. We were surprised on how far they had gotten. They can do the missions they wanted to do now. They're are now just trying to perfect the program. We told them to work on the rest on the missions so they can score better in the game. I also finished another drawing another NURC prop on sketchup so the video should be coming out soon.

November 2, 2010

Finished another prop so that is a total of five finished sketchup models. Now I have to keep on drawing the rest of the props. Ledge and I are hoping to have the video and sketchup models done on Friday so we can show the world this year's NURC mission.

November 1, 2010

Today I drew the crank prop for NURC. I told Karol and Hugo that I had finished 4 props so they could use them for their video. I started working on putting different props together to illustrate how it is going to be at the competition.

October 29, 2010

Today I found out that I wasn't finished with the sketchup models that there were more to be drawn. I was surprised because everything that had been built I had sketched, but apparently they haven't built it yet. Now I have to draw props that aren't even built so I will try and finish as fast as I can so we can get this year's NURC mission video done.

October 28, 2010

Today a group of people went to Madison Park and others went to Alhambra. I went to Madison Park and talked to people. There were two boys that were asking a lot of questions about the robot and I answered them the best I could. Then there was this man that didn't know how to speak English so I explained everything to him in Spanish and he was amazed and proud of us. Oscar wasn't working at 100% so we didn't drive it around we just kicked the soccer ball every now and then. Overall I think it went pretty well. After it was over we packed up and went to drop off everything at school.

October 27, 2010

Today I stayed after school and worked in robotics.

October 26, 2010

Went to finish some work after school then I went to robotics and worked.

October 25, 2010
