Electrical and scrapbooking

Monday I worked with Isabel, Bianca, and Diserae. We did some wiring on the board. And added Anderson to the wires. Then we shortened the wires for the switch so the switch won't take up as much space. We used three types of terminals. The Y ones, 90 degree ones, and the female spame ones's. Every once in a while we forget to put heat shrink on the wire and we have to unsolder the wire to put heat shrink.

Then on Tuesday I did a scrapbook page on Emrey-Riddle. I did the design of airplanes in the sky with clouds. Since Emrey-Riddle is an airplane college.

blogging

Haven't blogged in a while. So, I'll recap everything that has happened. I went to AZ regional and scouted. We won 1st place in the championship with our alliances, 330 (Beach Bots) and 2662 (Robo Krew). The score being 112 to 5. We were the alliance captain and this was our first win in 10 years. Ledge won the
Woodie Flowers Award. And the team won the Innovation in Control Award.
842, 330, and 2662 at AZ Regional

After that I have been helping Isabel and Bianca work on the AUVSI board. What I thought was interesting about the board is that for some of the wires we are allowed to choose which is negative and which is positive.

Also, have done many scrapbook pages. There has been an article in the "Three Sonars" about our team's victory. Then the Phoenix Union High School District gave us a letter about our success. After that "Arizona Central" wrote an article on how we won 1st place in the Arizona Regional.

Then Carl Hayden Community High School threw us a assembly at 7th hour. We showed our chairman video and a video that Ledge made. After that they introduced the members of the teams. Soon after that Ledge explained the basic rules of the challenge this year.

And best part of all is that I'm going to national championship in St. Louis! I am so delighted when I found out. It was an amazing moment in my life. Well now I'm working harder to prove that they weren't wrong to choose me.

Electrical.

Today I helped Staphanie with the AUVSI schematic. We finished one of the three schematics. The one we finished was the power one. We did the black and white wires. Other things I have done in the past is help wiring the AUVSI board. And I got to use the new stripper( a tool that strips wires). It was strange. it was really big, blue and completely amazing when it came to stripping wires. It had a hole where you put the wire then squeezed on the handles to strip them. I got to help soulder the USB wires. They were very tiny. And I have also. worked on the scrapbook. I did two new scrapbook pages. One was for a certificate for Ledge on participation in FIRST LEGO. The other was letter appreciating Ledge's help. With the certificate I made the page look like blue bricks. On the other one I put squares within squares. I made a border around the letter.
