Saturday
Today I went to school at 8:00 a.m. At first since Bianca, Isabel and Stephanie weren't there I couldn't do electrical work. So, I helped Eddie make sure the wheel's gears were straight. Then at 9:20a.m I had to leave to go to band. Where we played our saxophone trio and got a rating of excellent. The other saxophone trio from Carl Hayden got a excellent as well. Then we came back at around 12:40 p.m. I went back to robotics and we left to eat lunch at 1:00p.m. I had subway and tried the new cookie raspberry cheesecake which was awesome! After that we went to back to the school. They finished making the arm for the robot hile me and Biance took the cibro and censours out of Heather(last year robot) and mounted them on Dulce (this year robot). We then wired and orgnized the wiring by putting anchors and zip ties. We left at 6:00p.

Electrical Work
I came in Saturday. Me, Isabel,Bianca and Diseare came in to dio electrical work. We worked on the mounting the fans, spike, power distribute and other things with bolts, washers and nuts. We were going to mount the router but we didn't have velcrow. Then we wired the fans to to the motors. So, we got to slounder. We came in at 9:00a.m to 6:00a.m.

Today
I mostly just shafted the small petal poles for the wheels. It took forever but I finally shafted it to the right size
Electrical
Yesterday we figured out where to place the electrical stuff on the board. We come to some problems with the pole that's going to be on the board but worked through it.

Today
Osborn High School Night was cancelled. So, the earlier post that I posted had no meaning to it since I didn't go. It was late start today. But for the robotics team it's just another day. I came here at 7:20a.m. After school we took some parts off Oscar(in case you didn't know, he's a robot). I mostly took off the spikes. It took forever to take off. Then the things at he end of the spikes were tightly on. I couldn't take them off using my fingers so I used a screw driver to pull it off. Then we took off the motored fans off by unscrewing the screws and cutting the zip ties. Then we cleaned them off since they were very dusty. After that we put away the tools and cleaned up the space. The reason we took off the parts off of Oscar was because we need those parts for the new robot.
Wednesday
Today we are going to Osborn Middle School fro High School Night. We are leaving at 5:00p.m. and coming back at 8:00p.m.

Brophey and FRC Kick-off.
Last Friday at 7:00p.m I went to Brophey. We had workshops. I came late to the first workshop so instead of doing the workshop, I just passed out things. Then I actually went to a fundraising workshop. Since I didn't raise that much money, I hoped to get a lesson on how to raise more money. Then it was over at about at 9:00p.m
On Saturday I went to FRC-Kickoff. I arrived at the school really early, at 6:00a.m. Then we waited for more kids to come. We arrived at Brophey at 7:20. There we saw the live NASA broadcasting. Where the artist from the Black Eyed Peas was at. Then from the broadcasting we saw people trying to explain what robotics is and what it really does. Next they showed us our challenge. This year we get to build a mini-bot. Which I think is really awesome. After that they gave us our kids. We looked over the rules over there. Then we left back to Carl Hayden. Where we ate and planned out things for the competetion. .
