Yesterday, our school went to the nature museum to look at the exhibit about robots it was a lot of fun because we actually went on a field trip that wasn't boring and we weren't in the classrooms. Then we wnet to go and see the butterflies, it was awesome. But as for the robot, I
was saying before we went on the field trip I felt that it was boring, I mean all we were doing was programing the dog-gone robots that was it. But now that we have went on the field trip and was enteractive with different things about the robots, it's not so bad after all. And they should been having us go on field trip like this in the beginning? -Vanee Allison 7/24/07

Yesterday we went on a trip and I enjoyed myself. I learned alot of things that I didn't know. I learned more about robots and other interesting things that I looked at. I seen alot of new creatures. I played a game with a robot. The challenge was to beat the robot putting pieces into a form before the robot. Next we went into this butterfly room and they were everywhere. At first I was slightly scared because I don't like bugs at all but I just kept thinking to myself that they are harmless and won't do anything to me. So I got comfortable around them and now when I see them outside I won't swat them away.

Today I actually had fun today in robotics class because I programed the robot all by myself and that was something that I thought would never ever be able to accomplish and I'm truly proud of myself for that. On top of that, my partner of the EV Dynasty, Elisha was not feeling well today butIi had her back on programming Nebula, so even though she's not here I'm still glad that I was able to do something myself instead of depending on her to do most of the work for me. So thanks Elisha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Ya Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -Vanee Allison 7/17/07

Today was a great day. I had fun. My partner and I was working on getting the robot to complete the obstacle course. However, it completed it by about 30% and stop but thats where we left off at.
I think this program is congenial. Sometimes it can get boring but most of the time it is congenial.

Well we made it kinda far through the obstical course today we earned 3 points.But what i think about this program it's cool i enjoy myself sometimes,what i think what to be inproved is the lunch hour, we only have like 10-15 min. that's not enough to eat. Speaking of eating why don't you provide lunch for those who don't eat or don't have any money.

Today we testeed our robots in the gym. My group we tried but that robot kept getting on our last nerves it wouldnt work for nothing in this world. I like the program and everything but the robots can be a little bit irritating and can make you want to pull your hair out. I just think that it is a challenge and maybe hopefully the robot will work one day. So after trying to program the robot I just calmed myself down and relaxed and watched my Chris Brown videos and I was all good.
i think this program is ok.sometimes it gets boring.the teachers always tell me i have a negitive attitude,but that is not the case.it probably is fun for someone who likes to build and create things.things that can be diffrent about this program is that this program should offer a varity of activities for students to choose from not just robotics.it should be something that will better us as people,such as academics,career paths and other things that builds your character in the long run.

What i thought about the spelbots is it is very impressive and i think that its great for the all African American Females can get together and create something acheivable.But for Harper to get a spelbots team maybe it can happen it would be good also.But will females in harper be interested?

In Robotics class today we read an article about the Spelbots at Spelman College and from reading it I learned about the championships they've won and how their robots promote artificial intelligence and research. Also Spelman College is the only black college in the country to be included on the U.S. News and World Reports list of the top 75 Best Liberal Arts Colleges.

Today went by fast. I had fun. I don't know if Harper should have a Spelbots because it will take alot of time trying to get the students to learn them and it will take alot of learning time as well. Overall I had fun n can't wait to go to work l8er on. I can't wait to get paid so I can replace the money I took out for buying a Mp3 player.

Today I was programing my robot to go through the obstacle course and it was going well until I had to make the first turn. Thats when ir got difficult. It went under the table. I still was haopy because it was fun and I enjoyed seeing other people robots go. Overall I enjoyed myself today and had fun.

TODAY WE DID A OBSTICLE COURSE WITH OUR ROBOTS. OUR ROBOT REACHED THE FINISH LINE FIRST DURING THE PRACTICE ROUNDS. BUT WHEN WE DID THE COMPETITION OUR ROBOT CRASHED. I HAD HIGH HOPES THAT OUR ROBOT WOULD REACH THE FINISH LINE BUT MY PARTNER DID NOT. HE KEPT SAYING THAT IT WOULDNT. I THINK IF HE WOULD HAVE HAD HIGH HOPES LIKE ME WE COULD HAD MADE IT. IN THE END ANOTHER TEAM FINISHED THE OBSTICLE COURSE. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU TWO.
