Fall 2019: Coding with Xcode & Matlab

Hi guys, so field trip day was a semi success. Our ball shooting robot broke after 10 minutes or so. Luckily David was handy with a custom built RC car we brought with us to entertain the kids. We had 3D models handy as well so it went as well as it could considering our predicament. There was really around 5000 kids and educators there too! Back to my project this week. I have finally begun to understand how xcode works and I am also getting way more comfortable with Matlab so I'm feeling really confident that I can get what I want done this semester. I'll keep you all posted.

Fall 2019: Field Trip Day!!!!! Yaaaayyyyy!!!!

Hello friends!!! I'm sure you're wondering what field trip I'm going on? Well I am going to help spread the love of science and Robotics at the Arizona Diamondbacks Field Trip day at Chase field. I had no idea that such an event existed but I'm so thankful it does. Kids from all over the Valley, from several age groups, and backgrounds will be bussed in to Chase field where they can spend all morning visiting different vendors and educational stations. The main focus of this whole event is STEM. The photo above is of the robot that the kids will be able to play with. I personally did not build this robot, it was built by a member(s) of the PC Robotics club. I'll fill you all in next week.

Fall 2019: research, more research, and a new IDE

So I am off to a slow start research wise but the semester is in full swing! I helped to run STEAM clubs table in the morning session of FOI day (Fields of Interest) and then helped, as much as I could, to run Garden clubs table. The event was a huge success and I hope they continue to run it. The picture I shared today is of my boys enjoying all of the awesome rocks, minerals, and geodes that the geology department had to share. Where am I at with my research? Well I’m trying to figure out a new IDE, Xcode. I originally worked with eclipse and I am currently learning MATLAB so learning Xcode for my project is taking me awhile. Wish me luck guys cause I’m gonna need it!
