It's been quite a while since I've been on. I've been busy with orchestra, homework, and other stuff. And I apologize.

I got 25 dollars yesterday. Just because I answered some questions about what I want to see on college websites. I.E., easier searching, organized, user friendly, FAQ's and stuff like that, so searching for a college would be easier for seniors, and others who are looking at collage life.

Well worth it. And I wish they did that more. (I don't care about the money, honestly, the idea of someone surveying us students about what we want and need for college websites. That actually helped me! )

I was going to do the Columbus Youth Symphony Orchestra for CCS (Columbus City Schools), but my dad was too lazy to get off his ass when I needed it and take me to the store to get music.

And I mean it. He won't go when I need it badly, but when he feels like it. T_T

As for Johnny 5 (The robot I've been working with for the past month), It's coming along just fine. He's able to do the basic part of the challenge the other's are really doing. (I'm doing the challenge as practice) Just gotta change some of the programming so it can get the max amount of points possible.

Okay, so he's supposed (for right now) to go in a straight line to get to the JV gym at the end of the course. On the way there is a box called the front desk that he must deposit one ball in. After depositing a ball into the Front Desk (It doesn't have to stay in, as long as the ball hits anywhere in the box, it'll do) he must go to the JV gym at the end, and drop off another ball.

I have J5 going in a straight, almost non-stop line. He starts within the 12 inch by 12 inch box and goes to the Front Desk. After two seconds of starting, one of the motors automatically release the blue ball and it hits within the front desk, and continues (non stop mind you) to the JV gym. He slows to the JV gym and almost immediately backs up at full power, and due to Newton's law and all that, drops the red ball which is just sitting on two rods on the front of the robot.

J5 doesn't like Mr. East I think.

It works. It all works. He'll drop both of the damn balls. (When Mr. East isn't watching)

Every time I get Mr. East to watch the robot do it's functions, it'll drop the blue ball (it's automatic, and will always work), it'll go to the JV gym, and back up like it's supposed to.

But Newtons law won't work for me. The red ball won't drop.

And the moment Mr. East goes away, I try it again, and it works. It'll drop both balls.

...

J5 doesn't like him at all.
