Aftermath

3 Commments

It’s been awhile since I updated here, primarily because of my busy school work. Since the last post, I’ve been working almost every hour on programming the robots, and the hard work paid off at the competition. Our team came in fifth overall and received a first place trophy for first place documentation. We also received several other awards including best sportsmanship, best onsite presentation, and double-elimination round finalist. ABC also made a coverage on the regional event.

We plan on moving on to the International Botball Tournament in Hawaii in July. So right now we are busy with mainly two things. Preparing for the Hawaii trip and rebuilding our robots. Our main problem right now is with funds. Going to Hawaii would cost us around $7000 for a group of seven. Right now, we are looking for any sponsors, but we seem to have no luck. Our last resort would have to be getting our hands dirty fund raising ourselves by selling hot dogs or whatever. At the tournament, we saw so many great ideas. In order to win, we must completely redo our strategy.

Besides the busy robotics stuff, I’m also preparing for an AP Chinese exam that’s coming up in two weeks. I haven’t even touched the study material so far. Also, I’m upgrading my Ubuntu machine to Feisty Fawn and I plan on configuring it as a LAMP server so I can get my feet back on web developing. After typing all this, I just realized how busy I am XD .

Schedule For 2007/2008

7 Commments

March is scheduling month at my school. I’m going to be a sophomore next year (yay!). Here are the classes I plan on taking.

  • English 2 Accelerated
  • Algebra 2
  • Chemistry
  • AP World History
  • Physical Education
  • Spanish 2

Unfortunately, I have no electives. It should be really interesting taking my first AP class. Interestingly, I’ll be taking my first AP exam this May, the AP Chinese Exam. I still need to study a bit more for that, but I think I can get a 4 at least. Besides AP World History, I might be taking the AP Computer Science A exam next year self-studying.

Lately, I’ve been really busy with Robotics meetings. We’re attending the Botball Northern CA competition in April. If we do win, we get to go to Nationals in Hawaii over the summer! I’m the programmer for both the two teams from my school.
