Wednesday post

I'm (Jesse) trying to be more frequent in updating. Here's a quick post. We've had a quite week since Sam's Birthday. It's pretty hard to believe that he's 13! Saturday we went to a football game at Samford. Samford lost but we had a good time anyway. It's pretty easy to tell fall is here. The temps are in the low 50s every morning now. It feels good!

Sunday we all went to see the movie Cars. It was made Disney-Pixar, and we have always loved their movies (Bug's Life, Finding Nemo, etc...). We loved this one too, and we can't wait for it to come out on DVD in November!

In an earlier post I promised pictures on robots on building.

This is a very simple robot built mostly to test new features on the robot kit. It is currently programmed to drive around and avoid walls. It can do this with the ultrasonic sensor (the one that looks like the eyes in the front), which sends out sound waves and measures the echo to see how far the closest object is. It's like radar. Actually, it's more like sonar.

That's it for now. I'll post again soon.
