mini culmination preperation labs

Today in class I found out what my group was and what lab I was going to work on. I am in Group 1 in Core B. My group and I have decided that I'm going to work on RobotixX. What I have to do is make a robot that has to pick up an object from the parachute, drive it to the basket and drop it in the basket. It was pretty hard because I, honestly, sort of forgot how to put a robot together but I eventually got it. Once I got the hand of making a robot it turned out to be fun AND challenging. I didn't get to finish it but I ALMOST got to. The hard part was the I had to make sure that it could pick something up and I had that figured out but I had to figure out how to make the grabber move up and down and to the left and right. I figured out how to make it move to the left and right but now I just have to figure out how to make it move up and down. Once I have that figured out, I'm all set! I'm really excited for the mini culmination. I think it will be really fun and interesting. I'm also happy that this is sort of the PRE - culmination because then if we make any mistakes we can learn from them so that they wont happen again in the REAL culmination. I'm excited!
