[Welcome back! Questions, comments? Go ahead here!]

Zero was not exactly ecstatic at the prospect of making plastic brick robots. He'd been hoping for something a little more advanced, but this was only the second class. He remained silent, waiting for the activity to start.

Legos? Seriously?

Splash was hardly an expect in robotics, but she knew more than enough about her own systems and programming to know there was more to this than sticking some Lego bricks together and calling it a day. But hey, the least she could do was see where the teacher was going with this.

What are these... blocks? Axl sat in his seat, curiously looking at one of the blocks that he held in his hand.

[Start building your robots! Don't be afraid to interact with each other or ask for help.]

Re: Building! boobclocks June 3 2009, 02:01:19 UTC

Zero set to work, putting the tiny blocks together to try and make a Bee Blader. It turned out to be a little more difficult than he'd expected; the blocks were awfully small. He prided himself on precision, but with the size of his hands, it was a little difficult.

Splash was definitely not showing off with her dainty, glove-like hands. Nope.

Not at all.

"...Impressive."

Put a motor in it! doctor_emmerich June 2 2009, 21:48:29 UTC

[How's your robot work? Does it move a few feet and short fuse? Does it fly smoothly? Does it explode in your face as soon as you turn it on?]

Re: Put a motor in it! splashblue067 June 4 2009, 02:04:47 UTC

Now this was the hard part. Splash tinkered with the RC motor inside her car until she was pretty sure was going to work, but when she turned it on and hit forward it suddenly zoomed off the table (leaving little flaming scorch marks behind!) and went flying out the nearby window.

"Um... I think mind worked a little too well."

Re: Put a motor in it! doctor_emmerich June 4 2009, 06:57:15 UTC

Otacon chuckled quietly. "Well, it looked nice, but the motor you used was way too powerful for it."

Re: Put a motor in it! boobclocks June 4 2009, 03:44:46 UTC

For all his trouble with the construction, he'd hooked the motor up well enough. It was a little slow in its ascension due to weight, but otherwise fairly controllable.
