Robot Lego

First set of robots done with Lego's. A souped up merry-go-round. I took the original design and added some gearing so it would spin faster. Definitely a wild ride. It ended up throwing the little lego people across the room.
The other pic is a programmable robot that we taught how to navigate through a maze using infrared sensors. Never did do much programing language before, but this was kind of fun to figure out. We started out by making the robot do a simple square, then progressed up to using the sensors. First, having it sense for the edge of a table, then turn around, and finally the maze challenge.
The sequencing and logic thought process could be great learning activities.

Covered Porch...Let it rain!!!

First in a series of deck improvements. A rustic timber framed roof for our north deck. It's great to sit outside while it's raining without a care in the world. I'm sure there are more pictures to come from this improvement.
