We’re fast approaching the end of build season,  and both excitement and tempers are running high. Our robot is looking more and more like a an actual robot and less and less like a random conglomeration of metal pieces and electrical parts as the hours drag on.

I’m still rather confused by all the scientific jargon, but it’s beginning to make more sense. Over the past week, I’ve come in daily after track practice and worked on an assortment of odd jobs: preparing metal cylinders for use in the robot, helping Mrs. Glickman with travel plans, finalizing our Chairman’s Award nomination, and sorting hundreds of bolts and nuts. Today, I worked for several hours on the bumpers. I refastened them with the correct bolts and cut and attached pool noodles.
