Robotics Camp: day 2
Posted by Ace on December 30th, 2010 filed in letters from Ace
Nothing much to report yet on Robotics Camp.   Jack came home from day 1 with a Firefly-bot, more of a construct than a robot, the tail of which would light up when you crossed its antennae. And he came home yesterday with a ping-pong ball with pennies it, which was apparently unrelated to the main curriculum. But on each of those two days, he’s spent the majority of the day wiring up the main project, which he tells me is an Orangutan Robot, one that will respond to sound and be able to hand over hand on a wire. He said he got the motherboard and the microphone installed in it yesterday, and today he’ll be able to bring it home. Now all I have to do is figure out where to get some wire…
He is having fun, though. I’m glad!
