In Friday I was at the meeting. Ledge talked about new things and things that had to be done for the team. He talked about Dream Act. Ledge talked about internet that how people use it just to waste time and attack people. At lunch Eddie talked to Martin and me how an engine work and explained the following. The main reason of an engine is convert energy into motion. For example when you have Hydrogen (H) the Spark plug would burn the hydrogen mixed with air, all this is inside a piston, then the piston would move back and forth. I think he wanted to explain how to convert H2O to H then H to electricity. On Tuesday after school I attend the meeting were everybody got somethig to do for the EVROV. 5 minutes later I went to the neumatics workshop. They explain to us in a board many things about neumatics. I learn that a fuse has two wires that make a circuit when it gets to a certain tempeture they break the circuit until it cools. Then I saw the demostration about the pistons. Later I when to see and help a little to test the ball shooter. Wednesday I went to Sutton Middle school  to mentor.

In friday I help clean the room. After school we did not have meeting so I bough and then signed up with with Mrs. Gutierrez for the practice SAT. In monday 13, of september I started to help in the robot that will go into space. Martin and I finish drilling holes in the board for the electronics that will be mount there. Later we learned other ways to drill with more precision and without breaking the flourecent acrylic. From 5:30 to 6:10 we started to mount the cables and everything that goes in the board. We lost some nuts and bolts and we still working on it. We also are mounting the flourecent board to check if it fits in the structure.
