Because Mr Jewell was away, last lesson we had an extra lesson where I ended up finishing my robot. Yay!! I was so proud of my creation and how it turned out. This lesson I was helping people to fix theirs. Next Thursday is the day we do the race with our robots. It's going to be really fun!

Today in design futures today I got a lot done. I used a process to stick the wires onto the motor. This process is called soldering. It was quite difficult as you had to get the timeing just right. After that I cut out some more wire with an alligator clamp. The wires were made out of copper as copper is a great conductor of electricity. Next lesson I think we are going to finish the robot and I'm so excited!

Today's DF lesson was really fun and I got a lot of things done. 
I was away for one of the previous lessons but luckily Lauren helped me catch up quickly. I had to fix up my wheels and glue them onto the body of my robot with a hot glue gun. My robot is turning out very good so far and when it is finished, I am hoping to turn it into something like a dragon or a puppy. I'm really excited to finish it!
