This is my last post of the semester.
iFoundry has been a great way for me to meet new people and make many friends.
i have enjoyed parts of it and not some but that's life right?

iFound Basics did well and recieved the 2nd place for teamwork.
that's pretty cool i think. we all got real tight, to the point where we have gone out and ate dinner together multiple times.

here's another post.
the presentations went sweel and our final project report looks awesome.
our chariot monkey was a great success and you can expect to see it in stores in the children toy's section around march.

anyway here's a video of it.
it's still kinda slow and looks a bit unproffesional but it's our baby and we love it... XP

i'm not sure how many more posts i should have by the end of the semester, but here's one more

so iFound Basics has been working on our project and we've decided on a horse drawn chariot with a monkey gladiator whipping a whip.

i missed our review session with Gavin, and no one called me or anything to remind me. i honestly had no clue it about it. and for that i'm sorry.

but we've been making good progress i guess. we're almsot done with it. we just need to put some final touches on it, but it seems like everything is working so far.

our team is meeting right now to work on some stuff for the project.
it's 6 50 right now and i want to eat dinner...

our plan right now is to create a dancing/gladiator robot dude that uses servo's to twist and turn and maybe crack a whip.

it should be pretty cool, but we've got to find more time to work on this.

also, i burned my finger while soldering.....
i dont' know why we had to solder when super glue would have worked 5 times better.
those things sucked ass. they were terrible, and did not stick at all. i'm pretty sure inhaling the fumes isn't such a great idea either.....

so we were able to get our steam powered car up and rolling.
it's been pretty fun working with these guys. on our first test run we squirted some isypropal alcohol intoo the flames and had it just light up in fire.

it looked pretty cool.

Since we are supposed to update our blog, this is my first blog update.

I hope to update this occasionally to let the world know how my experience with iFoundry has been going.
