domo arigato, mr roboto

I SCORED A LAPTOP AT WORK TODAY! thank YOU erick moy for hooking me up with the IT guys. i also took over the empty cube behind sean's (my supervisor) desk. it only took an entire summer and 2 weeks for me to acquire a desk and a computer at work. :D

due to emily's amazingness, our robot can now drive straight!!! i'm not sure how she did it (she said something about lowering the tolerance) but i am thoroughly impressed. :)

our robot also has a new theme song. if emily or cindy could program our happyboard to sing this, it would make me really really really happy. :D

cindy programmed our robot to figure out its location and orientation based on what the home squares look like (the task for assignment 4). however, the lcd screen spits out numbers and the robot doesn't really move, so it makes for a boring video. sorry.

i attempted to attach the ball shooter and ramp tonight, and totally failed. try#2 happens tomorrow.
