My project with Gawin was originally a robot arm that we were about to buy but because of shipping problems we weren't able to get the arm. We were trying to come up with a good original idea that most people aren't already doing. We failed. Then we went to Ms. Venna for help and she told us she'd lend us her LEGO Mindstorms. Me and Gawin were overjoyed. But with only 3 weeks till the tech fair we thought we'd be able to finish the project in time. (And we weren't allowed to take the project home do we had to give up breaks and luches) (and we were willing to) with 15 breaks and lunches to work on it (15 total hours) we thought we'd be able to finish. The first week of building went fine and we were able to make the eyes, mouth and some of the legs. We then realized we only had one more week to make it because on the 3rd week we had the Ecoventure trip for a week. But we still thought 1 more week was long enough because we only had to finish the legs and tail. But unfortunately it wasn't. On some days we weren't allowed to build it due to meetings/ break and lunch duties. And some days me and gawin were busy with other matters and weren't able to build the robot. But me and gawin believed if we were able to finish the Robot, it would defiantly make it into the tech fair. Next year we hope to make the same robot again but this time. Finish it. Here are some picture of how far we got.
