Today...

So today it was just me and James, a new member who just decided to hang out because Zakiya and Esi went on a camping trip. So today we spent a lot of time trying to fix the desin that we already had, but it was hard to do so because we were having some troubles with the speakers. Therefore we just decided to cahnge the projct all together. Instead, we turned it into a toy for a car that the dog can chase and when the dog barks, it will stop, to sort of trick the dog lol. So as a new design,…

yesterday

yesterday was alot of fun but it was a little confusing because my teammates and i were trying to figure out the coding for something and it just wasnt working but thankfully at the end of the day Palob helped us alot with it and we finaly got it to work and yeah. I have a goal for today which is to finish all the coding so that my team mate D'andre can see the finished product before he has to leave for his summer camping trip.

Yesterday  we tested the tube/gun launcher and it didn't work. It needs more CO2 in order to create enough pressure to launch it. I think we will be done by today.

Stanford

Yesterday at stanford my group finished our programming for the car that stops right before it'll hit something. It was fun since we spray painted our car frame and put holes in it for the wheels.

Yesterday

Yesterday my group and i had tested out our "gun". Because there wasn't enough CO2, we have to change the CO2 creater. Instead of water and Allstine altzer we are going to use mentos and diet coke. This will definitely create more pressure in CO2 and hopefully it will be successful in our gaget.

....Final Project

As my group continues building our monster truck we have been face with many problems but we atlas now have the proper code for the truck. The code allows our truck to use the microphone to turn the motors on or off according to sound. I hope that we are able to soon start building the actual truck now that we got a huge part of the programing done. =]

Me and my group project

Yesterday me and my group members were designing a truck. our truck will have a remote control and will be made out of cardboard we are half way done withour creation. we are making good progress.

Standford

At Standford we had created a outer "skin" for our little tank machine :). While doing the outer skin we recorded our ideas and we had written them. We plan to continue working working hard on this project.

stanford

today, we came into groups with ideas and my group decided on making a mater robot car that stops when it comes close to another object so it won't crash.

What I did on July 11!

Today my group and i came up with a safari car the is covered  in monkeys because they are Zakiya's favorite animal. The car at first would be attracted to sound, light, AND motion. It was also supposed to change colors when it went in different directions. Now our car is only attracted to sound. It has three sound sensors. One on each side and then one in the front. Today we got around to making the coding for our project, but then when we started to add it into the computer we all got a…

My idea is that cars won't crash so that means an ultrasonic sensor is used to stop the car and won't crash.

Stanford

At Standford, my group got to put in the finishing touches on our frame. We also had got a start on robotics, where we had to use different sensors and program them to the robotic part. It was interesting to figure out that 10 meant 1 sec instead of 10 seconds. I can't wait for the next project.

Project Idea

As a person who loves to where make up, my invention would include EYELINER! So I have this problem with being a cheap spender. I don't like to buy the eyeline that you roll up because it costs too much. Therefore, I buy the pencil eyeliner which easily breaks. I know that I am not the only person that still buys pencil eyeliner, and I know that I am not the only person that gets irritated when the eyeliner breaks and you can't find a working pencil sharpener. For this reason, I would creat…

Hmmm

Ohkay so on Friday we finished our picture frame and now all we have to do is cut it out and glue all the pieces together. And after we id that we began a new project using this computer program called GoGo where we did some practice coding for robotics and this was really cool because in our other engineering class we just finished malking our own web pages so most of us already had an idea of what this coding will look like based off of the web pages that we made last week. The only thing… Continue

Project Ideas

 

Hello Fellow Bloggers,

I really should change that title; it makes people think I have more than project one idea. My project idea idea is kind of silly but I couldn't think of anything else. Basically, I make…

I saw the videos and I liked the gogo ultra cave because it looked cool. Some I didn't understand because they looked very complicated, but if someone explains to me what it is then I think I would understand it better. Another one I liked was the color changing gogo. A project that I would like to do with my group would be a car with lights in the front and in the back like a real car. The front ones just white/yellow and the back one being able to bink like a signal. Also, touch sensors so if… Continue

Friday

On friday we finished working esigning our name tags and now we just need to cut it out. We began working on robots, and using code and we had trouble in the beginning but we got the hang of it.

4th day

Last Friday we got into our groups to finish our frames. Our team decided to make frame using the theme of the powerpuff girls and so far it is looking great. We then were introduce to a new project using robotics and I am very excited to see what else we will be learning.
