Title: Delays
Post by: Dragyn on January 12, 2007, 10:23:00 AM
Uh...yeah.  I'm pretty busy with School at the moment, so I'll be updating late.

I'm in the school robotics team, and we only have 6 weeks to build this thing.  Things should pick back up once I'm done.

Sorry...I'll try to get something up for ya'll.

It's fine with me! I don't feel so bad about not having the things I was intending to post posted, now.   :D

*Teasing*   ;D

I don't mind. *reads a buncha webcomics that update at different times* But you have to tell us how awesome that is when you're finished building it.

Okay, then.  Fair enough.    :)

Yeah, do you think you could post a picutre or so?   :D

Erm...probabaly?

What kinda' picture were ya' thinking?

How about I just get some comics drawn up...
Title: Re: Delays
Post by: Faith on January 14, 2007, 05:20:00 PM
Oh, not that kind! I'm sorry, shoulda' been more clear on that... Hehe   :)    :-[    :) ...

I meant a few pictures of the robot. Maybe some of the robot while it's being made and when it's done. I think it'd be cool to see some.   :D

Oh!   Nah, I'm just stupid, sometimes.
If there ever are any pictures, I'll let you know.

Kay, great!

And, I should'a remembered that what I said could be so easily mistaken for something else. I used the exact same words everyone on the forum uses for putting a drawing in Art! I should be more clear about what I'm saying, not your fault.   :)

Um...I'll be a little late on this one, too.  It's almost time for Bed and I haven't even started it...so much to do, so little time.

*sigh*   I really hate doing this to ya'll...
Title: Re: Delays
Post by: Faith on February 06, 2007, 01:02:00 PM
That's okay!  We've all been late for things before!   :D
Title: Re: Delays
Post by: Dragyn on February 10, 2007, 07:07:00 PM
Really, really late...

To tide you over, i give you the Robotic's site (http://www.bcsd101.com/bfhs/first_web/).  There are some pictures in there, but I'm not in any of them.  (Not visible, anyway...that's an advantage to being the guy to add the pictures.    ;)  )
Title: Re: Delays
Post by: Faith on February 10, 2007, 08:04:00 PM
*Laugh!!!*   :D

I'll take a look at that here soon.   :)





I saw you!   ;D
I'm not quite sure what you were doing - but I saw you!

I like the little window that pops up when you go to the site.   :)

Who took all the pictures?

So you're going to be in a big competition? Could you tell us how that goes when it's done?

What things did you do?
Title: Re: Delays
Post by: Dragyn on February 23, 2007, 03:14:00 PM
The pictures were taken by people who's names I'm not actually allowed to say, so I won't.

The competition is next week.  I should leave early on Wednesday, and I don't think I'll have any Internet access.  I won't be on until the Monday after, if I'm not mistaken.

(Yes, that counts as another delay)

I mostly made the website, though I also did some work on the electronics board.  They took it apart and rebuilt it since then, though.  The only evidence I'm even on the team is the site.    :)

Since this is the delays thread anyway, I'll say this:  If there's not an update by Wednesday, there won't be one next week at all.

This really isn't helping me catch up...

EDIT:  By the way, the robot is done.  I haven't been given any pictures to upload, so I can't really show you what it looks like.  We did get it done and shipped, though.

Neat!   :D

Good luck with the competition!   ;)

Oh geeze, I JUST remembered this place... ^__^; Sorry people. Good luck with the tourney. Does teh 'bot look neat ta all?
Title: Re: Delays
Post by: Dragyn on February 26, 2007, 06:38:00 PM
The 'bot looks sorta' like a car crash, and sorta' like a meat grinder, but not dangerous like either of those.

So, I dunno', does that count as neat?

(I'll get some pics up as soon as the rest of the team gets me some, and I have internet access)

Post by: Faith on February 26, 2007, 06:48:00 PM
*Laugh!!!*   :D

I dunno, I've found weirder things interesting... (easily entertained) and I'm sure it doesn't look that bad. Besides, what matters is how it works!   ;D
Title: Re: Delays
Post by: Dragyn on February 26, 2007, 07:13:00 PM
Well, I've never seen it work, but they say it was working great.  I missed the day they finished, tested, and shipped it
Title: Re: Delays
Post by: Faith on February 26, 2007, 07:17:00 PM
That's to bad... but, so long as it works well, and it's getting where it needs to go (where is that again?)it should be fine.   ;)
Title: Re: Delays

Portland, Oregon.

I'll be back early Sunday...though I may just sleep until Monday.

*Laugh!!!*   :D

That's so far away...
Are you traveling by car or plane?
(Car would suck!!!)   :P
I'm not sure about plane... never been on one...

Holy crap, I live either right near or just there [I forget].

Well, I'm back.  I rode a bus:  A 12 hour trip both ways.  Only slightly less than fun.

The bot worked great.  We're ranked 51st out of 54.  For a rookie team, I think we did good.  We got a trophy, too!  We got it for "Rookie Inspiration".
Title: Re: Delays
Post by: spookty on March 04, 2007, 07:38:00 PM
51st out of 54, eh? Not that bad, I'd say.
Title: Re: Delays
Post by: Faith on March 05, 2007, 12:51:00 PM
From what you've said about it, it sounded neat --- like the chicken dance, and The Flaming Chicken's robot going in circles!
Title: Re: Delays
Post by: Dragyn on March 05, 2007, 04:16:00 PM
Very interesting, indeed.

I'd recommend that any of you who get a chance participate.
Title: Re: Delays
Post by: Faith on March 05, 2007, 05:56:00 PM
I hope I can, though I wouldn't know how to get back home when the meetings were over...
Title: Re: Delays
Post by: Dragyn on March 06, 2007, 10:47:00 AM
Well...I just talked my parents and siblings into picking me up...
Title: Re: Delays
Post by: Faith on March 06, 2007, 12:16:00 PM
Heh, I doubt I could convince my parents into doing that, and I have no siblings to pick me up... and I don't want to go hitch-hiking.   :P
Title: Re: Delays
Post by: Dragyn on March 06, 2007, 03:08:00 PM
Yeah...probably better if you don't hitch-hike.

I don't intend to -- but I still have no means of transportation...
