Today in group 1, we made great progress on our car. We were missing at least 3 people, so it became pretty difficult. We gained one member today, Charity. We were missing some parts, but we found all the parts we needed. Im also a documenter, and i learned some new cool things on iMovie. Im so excited to create the video for my groups car. We have at least 1 more week, and we have lots of stuff to do. Its going to be hard, but FUN !

Hey! This is Kevin Griffin, supervisor of the Robotics component at the YES program. For some reason the system will not let me post videos through my account so I have to sneak and post through one of my teen's page. Shhhhhh, don't tell Jazell. Anyway, here is a video I made showing off the blast we had this past summer in Robotics. Enjoy! And remember to check out other videos of the summer by way of our YouTube page. Thanks!

Today in robotics we made flashing LED hearts. We also played our simon says games we built. I finally got an understanding about what our houses should come in, we also drew up our blueprints.

Today in robotics, my group started building our segway. We are building a NXT model, to put on display at the main building. We will demonstrate, how our robots work, and its functions. We will be using a light sensor to control our robot.

Today in robotics, we built circuts. We made a light bulb light up. We did this by using 4 batteries, 6 pieces of paper, wire, a light bulb, and 1 plastic tube. I was amazed how all of these things could be put together to make a light bulb light up. I wish i could post the procedures on my blog.

Today in robotics we started our new project, which is building Segway. My group is responsible for building a robot that balances, with a light sensor. We came up with our design today, and completed our research. We also did a creativity project which is below.
