I built a demo that moves forward then stops" "The biggest challange was actually building the bot. Trying to get that big handyboard to fit onto a lego bot is difficult."

Also I researched the new team we were given and look forward to meeting them." "I started running out of ideas to keep in touch with our groups and stay involved, I think this may be the hardest point to accomplish. I learned more about Botball online and starting generating ideas that might be successful to start our young teams in action for Botball."

"- I thought about how little I know on the subjects I'm going to be helping people with, and decided that I'm going to have to do some research to get a handle on things. - The work was largly theoretical so I will see how my conclusions play out while working with the botball teams. - We're going to have a meeting Tuesday to look over the botball parts. - I learned that taking time for deep thought about things is a good way to clear your mind of worries about how they will work out. - The walking and thinking routine is very nice for peace of mind, so I'll continue to do that in the future."

"Unfortunately I could not test out connecting Interactive C to any of the botball equipment. I will most likely want to bring my computer in to the lab one afternoon to test it out. As we get started working with the botball teams I think it will be a good idea to schedule regular meeting times with our group members. That way we will always have a time slot reserved for group meetings and we can regularly check up with each other."

Doing this reading was helpful; knowing how the competition works will help our team be successful when we mentor the student teams and build our robot."

However, I think we came up with a good name that everyone was satisfied with. I tried doing a little bit of building with legos, but remembered why I never played with them as a child (I really like curved surfaces, and I'm apparently really bad with legos)."

Most of my emails that I sent out received a response within a couple of hours. Even though I spent some time designing different models of robots over the weekend, I’m not sure if any of them will work. This is mainly because there are six members in the group and they may have different ideas on what our robot should do.

The only other thing worth to note is that I finally got in contact with my mother and talked to her about the classes that I currently have.
