ITS THESEUS !!! MY GODD!!

The Greek God Theseus fits this particular role because he was force to go on a quest by his mother Princess Aethra which was to bring a sword and sandals that his father, King Aegeus, had left under a stone years ago. During his quest, Theseus came upon obstacles like Sinis the giant, the half man half bull called the Minotaur, and Cerberus the hideous three headed dog. Knowing that folktale heroes are often strong, he (Theseus) managed to defeat them all.

robotic proj.

 Last week on thursday we were finally done with the activity and finally tested our robots outside the computer lab hallway and it was exciting. Despite the fact that I went through many difficulties and disagreements between my other two partners, we still managed to complete our primary goal which was contructiong and programming before the due date.

Robitics actvity

These past two days, we've attempted to program a robot of our own construction unfortunately, to know avail. However, despite the fact that a series of mishaps hampered us from achieving our primary objective, we still managed to familiarize ourselves with the various processes and devices that concordantly consistify lego robotics.

Despite the fact that the class's general consensus regarding lego robotics is negative, we happily side with the minority, seeing how interesting it is compared to other parts of our cirriculum.

Class Review

During Computer Literature we learned important new stuff about robotics. Also, there is something that is called four D's, dull work, delicate work, dangerous work, and dirty work. Robots can so all four because it's a mechanical device that makes life easier for humans. We watched two great videos referring to how robots make life easier for humans. The first video was about a flying robotic bird, how it was constructed, and how they made it work. The second video was mainly about how they created this sensor witch is drilled to their brain for paralyzed people to control things with their brains.

Jordan or Lebron?

"I'm not MJ, I'm LJ" - Lebron James. He doesn't like to be compared to Micheal Jordan, he wants to be recognize as his own way of playing and his personality. As we all know, Jordan who was a phenomenal player throughout his year, was playing at the highest level and what I'd like to say the unstoppable level of his career. Jordan was successful coming out with 6 title rings, 3 mvps, and 10 scoring titles. However, let us not forget about Lebron James who is the world's most dominant, proficient, and hard working basketball player. Furthermore, Lebron has lead his team to a 19 game winning streak, after the loss to  the Indiana Pacers on February 1st, 2013. However, the question still remains, what makes Lebron a great player? We'll most of us know that this is blatent answer, in the month of January, Lebron had been averaging 30+ points and over 60% shooting, which put him on the first player who has average 30+ points and 60% percent shooting for 6 times in a row by the assistance of his teammate Dwyane Wade. Lebron was asked this question during a press conference,

Journalist: "What motivated you guys into doing the Harlem Shake." 

Lebron: "We're winning that's all there is to it, I mean common were on a 19 game winning streak and we feel like we're playing good basketball and look forward to keep that streak going."

 If Jordan and Lebron played 10 games of 21 who do you think would win the most?

   The word technology refers to the making, usage, modification, and knowledge of tools.                        What would the world be without technology? No phones, no music, no internet, and etc... horrible i guess. Technology makes up everything, it makes doors, streets and every other object around us. Over in the 21st century, technology has emerged in terms of the new technological devices such as, the new ipad mini, samsung galaxy s3, and other useful objects.

        Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, development and application of robots and computer systems. Robots are important because they perfom tasks that would be dangerous and even impossible for humans to do. Also, they have speed, efficiency, low maintenance, no labor disputes. They are always accurate and known for their longevity.
