MakeBlock Robots


MBlock Robot

As a project in my computer technology class, we had to choose a group of four and were given a MBlock Robot to build from scratch. After the robot was finished being built, we then had to connect the robot with an online program called Orion and program the robot's infrared and ultrasonic sensors for movement. As well as design the robot using a 3D printer. Our group of four people were split into two teams, with me being on the programming team. It was definitely hard, yes. Would I do it again? It could go both ways. The funnest part was for sure building the robot. It's like an adult form of Legos, minus the pain of losing one then finding it by stepping on it, crying, and wondering how a small toy could make a grown man cry. Back on topic, the programming was hard. Very happy I finished it, and building the robot was definitely the fun part of it.

Day 2. It's the second day of High School sophomore year. Well technically third, but we didn't do much the first day. This is fun and all but I'd rather prefer sleeping until 3:00 and eating at midnight. It's really good to see everybody though, it could get boring at home so I guess I need them there. Did you know there's actually an animal that can die of loneliness? It's crazy.
