One day I attend the tour for the LEGO turnament. After that I asked Jacob to teach me about broadcasting. It is easy to broadcast on uslive or something like that. I still have to learn more.
Monday 25, I went to mentor Sutton. We have to start build another lego robot because the one we build was anticuated, too big, hard to manuver, lose control easyly, almost useless.
Tuesday 26, I stayed after school. I helped assemble the parts with their respective hole, nuts, bolts, and position to make one omnidirectional wheel. I finish one by myself. Then I helped lock type every nut of 3 of the wheels. That took me from 3:15 to 5:45.
Wednesday 27, I helped put the wheels for the tool case. After that I cut 1/2" long pvc pipes that would be use later as spacers betwwen the wheel and transmission. Mr. Whitley was teaching me how to load things, in this case a 120 lb tool case, with more math instead of force.

Today I got the Wired Magazine. I read some articles. One was about Oscar Vasquez and the other one about a Canadian submarine. In the shared documents I read about the components that will go in the AUV. I have doubts how they would be connected and some of them I know what they do but I don't know how they work. I found that all the components will cost between 2,800 and 3,050 dollars.

Friday 1st I helped Dillon to test the shooter. The ping-pong shooter (which only had the solenoid to shoot) now it has a loader. The test was not very successful. Dillon, Joach and me tried to demostrate the new advances in the ping-pong shooter to Mr. Lajvardi but unfortunately we end up making him waste about 3 minutes of his life and he went to luch 3 minutes late. Later that day I watched the freedom writers movie. I have watched that movie three times. At about 5:30 I went to "FIRST" Friday. I only past one or two brosures and most of the time I was driving the robot as pilot and copilot.
This week Monday 4 to Friday 8 of October my main goal was to attend the Amateur Radio classes. Every day I went on time and I feel bad for people that went late because they got no donuts and missed a portion of class. Throughout this days I learned many things about electricity, radio waves, rules of ham radio, electric devices, units of mesurement, radios, antenas, schematic symbols, better and and more effective ways to contact people during a emergency through a radio and safety while installing, testing, or operating a ham radio station. Thursday I studied about 200 questions and writed down about 100. Friday I payed 1/3 of attention to the teacher, 1/3 to the book, and 1/3 to the QRZ website practice test. Friday I passed the test.
This week at least I clean the sawdust 4 days. I helped to tie the robot that is going to Costa Rica. I helped to take the box downstairs to the truck that would ship it. I payed attention to some speeches that Mr. Lajvardi said about technology, school, and healthy food. I also watched a video about how humans changed earth in last 50 years.
Monday 4 and Tuesday 5 I went mentor to Sutton. Mr. Jones was amazed that Walter, Joach, Ana and me went mentoring when we are in vacations. We started teach the kids how to set up the field and build the robots. Tuesday 5 we could not mentor in the last 15 minutes (4:45-5:00) all the kids went outside to play with the hail.
