Robotics.

Chuck! Chuck! Chuck! Thats the noise of people controlling NXT lego robots. Jackson and I already had our robot painfully inching its way along the track Darryn, one of the teachers here, had made. One of the smarter kids in robotics,Kyle, had already gotten his robot to work, but he had to leave early.

Strong, Stable Shape!

Had a good holiday? I have. Back to blogging. This morning we started with a technology challenge.The aim was that we had to make a chair that had to be strong enough to hold the biggest wooden frogs we have here. The expectations were: It had to have a back, at lest 4 legs and, like I said, it had to hold the biggest wooden frog.  I worked with Jackson, Neave and Pearl, (we are a Salford bunch!)  Our chair failed because we didn't make the legs strong enough. If I could change one thing about it, it would have been the shape of the legs.  Instead of straight, we would have included triangles to help make it a really strong, stable part!
