Salutations fellow robot enthusiasts! My name is Sydney Storm Bowen and I am currently a member of Advanced Robotics and Programming at Lincoln School in Providence, RI. I decided to take this course because I was intrigued by building a robot and finding out how everything works. I am interested more in the engineering aspect of robotics than the programming portion of the class. So far this year, I have constructed two chassis with Frances, and we have learned a lot about the parts we are working with and the overall structural design for a simple robot. We are currently working on programming our robot to drive around the science atrium in autonomous mode successfully. We will begin constructing our final robot to compete in the FirstTech challange fairly soon. I am excited to take home the blue at the challenge in March! Go AdRobs '10!

Greetings all! My name is Danae Lucia Lepore (dlepore) and Im currently a student in Advanced robotics and programming here at the lincoln school for girls (taught by dsalincoln). I joined this class because I have seen the class generating many staggering creations and working on projects together, brainstorming and it looked like something I wanted to be a part of. I was also interested in robots and have always been very curious about how they run and what that process is like. I really enjoyed the fact that this class was very hands on because I have not really taken another class like this at Lincoln. So far this year, I have already gained a lot of knowledge in this field and continue to learn. I have learned how to make a simple chassis and have learned about the many parts necessary to create that and their purposes. By creating wiki pages, my classmates and I can refer to a lot of the parts by name and know the general purpose of it. I have become very familiar with the program "Robotc" and continue to learn about programming and the language in which it utilizes. I am very excited for the competition in march and plan on keeping up with this process and working hard!!! I encourage everyone to get out and do something creative such as "adrobs" and feel the self gratification similar to what i have experienced. -Danae Lepore

Greetings fellow earthlings! My name is Mimi Laurie and I hail from Jamestown RI. I choose to participate in Advanced Robotics and Programming because dsalincoln rox!, furthermore I have always been interested in robots and cars so this engineering course has proven to be quite interesting, especially when it comes to building chassis. Fellow teammates Lindsay, Danae, and I have constructed two chassis so far. During the time of construction we have learned copious amounts of Robotic info, such as the lingo and how to program. I look forward to furthering my knowledge as the year progresses!(and to bring home that sweet blue at the duel in march) Until next time, Go ADV Bots! -alaurie
