Robot is HERE!

Sorry it took so long, but... school and the internet was distracting me :/. anyways, here it is, the sumobot, you will see more on my NXTLog next week. And yes I made a program file, with a little help with a certain part, you'll see how on the NXTLog. My next project might be a tank or a lawn mower, what I mean by lawn mower is a robotic lawn mower I want to make sometime in the future, im just starting on it. Until then, see ya

New set

I recently got a new set, it is called the "Thunder Driller" from the Power Miners theme. It was Neat, but... It could have more pieces, and the plastic wheels may be useful in someway, they might make a good carpet patrol robot. Anyways, the set had a lot of unique parts, and Will be used for future robots. Plenty of pieces... though it can have more, I would recommend it to NXT-users as well as lego power miner fans, because this set was more technical than I thought it was. Now you know my opinion and the little on what this set has.

Actual part from "iDesign"

It took a while for my teacher to grade, but here it is. My camera doesn't have the best Quality as you can see, but here you can see how my part ended up, hope you like it. The robot is still in process, its another sumo bot I'll say that, but it might take a while for me to actually make a video and show you guys what it can do. The reason is, Our family found a house, and we may move soon, so I need to hold up with the NXT, but im working on it.

Programming from my school shop called "iDesign"

I never used this machine before, Until last year when I was taking shop orientation. Im using one in school right now... only its more basic, and easier, but its VERY cool. I made a project on a machine like this last year, it was an image of a scorpion in a transparent white material that looks really cool when shown to light. Anyways, I did a programming for my first project, and we'll get to the coordinates soon. What the teacher expected was a 30-line assignment, and VERY uniquely, I used "Robots Rule!" in my assignment, I'll make an Update on what I did. now you know im taking this class, and what I am to do, now for the code:

Soldering skills revealed!!!

Hey Followers, Youtubers, and all of you just visiting, I learned my Soldering skills today, from the date I wrote this. And if you want to Solder yourself, you can get them from here:

http://www.toy4education.com/product/AK-100S

I didn't get it there though "I'll keep you posted where I got it," but let me tell you my experience. It was a little scary, but not nearly as scary when I was trying to weld, but I actually did a very good job. I noticed that you have to keep the Iron on the joint for at least the count: 1, 2, 3, and then take it off, and you have a good joint. If you are doing it for the very first time like me, have a partner who knows how to do it, and it is actually more helpful than doing it by yourself. Now I have good soldering skills from a quick experience. See yall.
Bye.
