THE TIME HAS COME!!! *tear tear*

Final class and the EXHIBITIONNNNN
So last minute things I did: made the stickers, and COMPLETELY REGEARED THE CAR. We ended up leaving two wheel and putting two turning wheels on the front. Not a fun thing to do 2 hrs before the FINAL showoff.
But the show itself was AWESOME. We eventually got rid of the sound-making resistors because the hall was too loud and the car was getting stuck, but the kids and Wellesley students loved driving the house around (once we reminded them to point the remote exactly right). Success!
Here is a video my daddy took of my project and others:

Retrospective:
Fabulous class. I made great new friends, learned how to build things, and overcame my fear of computer science, all while having a BLAST. Highly recommend this class to everyone.

Thanks for the adventure... now go have your own!

Nearly there....

Okay, we're almost done!!!!!
The exhibition is in a few days...
DONE: the house is built and pretty, the balloons are figured out, the programs are written, the car is (kind of) running, the remote works, the clay sculptures are built, etc.
PS Had an AWESOME time regearing the car again. Had to get rid of the rubber bands and replace them with gears, but the sizing isn't perfect and the gears have a great habit of FALLING APART. Grr.
TO DO: Build obstacles, build resistors, spam, get stickers going, fix car, assemble.
Here are pictures of me and the new car, and of me testing the house:

Oof.
Till SOON,

COUNTDOWN T MINUS SEVEN DAYS

The project is taking shaaaape!

Sorry for the delay--so busy building, didn't have time to blog.
