Today was pretty… I dunno, lame? The start of the day was nice and exciting because I really wanted to make my own robot and I couldn’t wait to get started. The whole morning was spent making the robot and putting all the parts together. That was fun. I liked screwing all the parts together even though it was my first time to hold a screwdriver. It was the best part. But when afternoon came, we were given a software so that we could program our robot from there. Of course, that made me more excited because I really, really, love programming and my teacher said that the programming is going to be interesting. So I believed him. That time, I was expecting a set of codes to be taught to us and things like that, and they’d left us on our own. But I was really disappointed (and frustrated) because it is in drag-and-drop format. And everyone knows I hate drag-and-drops because I type all the program codes by myself. It’s also a hassle because when we experience a malfunction, I can’t pinpoint the cause because all of the programming is basically done by those things we drag. Such a bummer. We will be having our robot games tomorrow but I’m really frustrated right now. I won’t be able to program a good robot. I think I will just buy my own set. I wonder how much it costs.
