Cinco de Mayo

This is a combined wednesday and thursday post.

I saw a guy using a magnifying glass to view his ipod. Times are surely strange.

I took an exam for my stupid aeronatucs class and I am not feeling to good about it. like maybe 80% ish.

I FINALLY got the robot working like its supposed to. No thanks to my teammates. I love them to death because of their positive attitudes but they can be so difficult at times. I wrote the code for the robot and the C++ computer program. The problem occurs when the robot actually works too fast and reads the bus relay as its changing. The change occurs like dominos and the robot IMMEDIATELY sees the first domino fall and says "OK #1!!! GOT IT!!!!" and runs off to pin #1 instead of waiting for the whole message. One of my teammates insisted that we RECODE the entire thing so it goes like this:

pc: are you ready robot?
robot: I am ready.
pc: Here is a message
robot: I have your message. thank you
pc: no problem
robot: I am performing the act
pc: I'll wait
robot: I'm done with the act
pc: good to hear
robot: I'm ready for a new message now.
pc: ok here is the next message

and so on and so forth. Which works for people but this is a robot it should be as simple as:

robot: I AM READY GIEF MESSAGE
pc: HERE GO!
robot: I HAVE MESSAGE/ PERFORMING/ AND AS SOON AS I AM DONE TALKING GIVER ME MORE MESSAGE
pc: HERE GO!

repeat until done. And it works very very well and efficient. Its all the computer needs really. Adding all that other communication takes alot of time and is prone to errors.

But dont get me wrong, I am much happier that it is working flawlessly that frusterated at my team. I don't care as long as it all gets done.
