13 - Lucas V: Robotics Here at Wood

    

    This class is probably my most anticipated class of the year because of how fun and exciting it is. In this class, you would build robots and also code. Robotics is part of the CTE program here at Wood bringing newer class types like Auto and Woodshop. With being in this class for almost a whole school year, I have connected through classmates in class. I have also learned the basics of robotic engineering with what gear ratios to use and also what code I would have to input so that the robot would run correctly. There were numerous projects which were fun like having the fastest robot while having different gear ratios and different weight distributions used. At the moment, we are building a manual transmission with 3 gears to shift to.

    The environment in the classroom and the lab is very chill. Students are doing their own things with a little bit of chit-chat in the background. When we are in the lab to build, there is usually music provided by the teacher(he likes country). Most of the time the class is usually in Room L-6 to go over some notes and our instructions on what to build. When coding our robots, the whole class is very loud in which is filled with tons of typing of those crusty, musty school keyboards. Every day I wait for this class which is my 6th period which is a great period as it is basically a class at the end of the day and is also pretty chill. Most of my memories of my junior year is from this class. Plus during block scheduling, I get to be in that class for 2 hours which is great.
