Today was our first robotics class after missing it on Friday where we had a typhoon. We had a quiz on robot parts and then looked over all our robots, as well as Drews. I learned from Drew’s robot that we could use zip ties to keep cable connections together and zip tie the cables to the robot so that they don’t move around. Then Mr.Lin gave us a short review on Shaft Encoders as we may have forgotten some things after the break. Then he explained our new task, which is to make our squarebot dance to a song.

Reflection, Connection & Personal Response: This is a story made of stories, and I feel it is to represent Celaena’s journy being in different segments, ignoring the ambiguous parts of unimportance. I can connect how Celaena felt when Sam died, as the loss of somebody is very hard. I can also connect to how I trusted someone, but in the end they betrayed us, just like how Ansel betrayed Celaena in the end |

Reflection, Connection & Personal Response: I feel that this story is about a Woman who has been alone for most of her life, but used to be royalty. Though I have not read the books that happen before this entry, it is a book that kept me reading at night. I will definitely read the rest of the series by the end of the year. |
