Today I went to Admiralty Secondary School for robotics study. I could hardly wait to get there! When we got there, the pupils kept looking at us. I felt embarrassed. Our instructor is Mr Wee. He was a funny man. He told us that one robot could cost us 400 dollars if we broke it. It is so expensive! I marvelled at all the robots made by the students. We learned about the light sensors, the rotation sensors and the touch sensors. They where very interesting. The touch sensors will see whether you are going to fall off. The rotation sensors will help rotate the robot and the light sensors will shine different kinds of light. I started building a robot with Joel, Jian Yuan and Hao Ming. We had gone through lots and lots of hassles. Joel couldn't put the gears together, so we tried to fix it together. At last we all managed to get the gears together. Next, we fixed one of the gears into the wrong part. Jian Yuan managed to get the gear fixed. That gear was one of the most important gears. Without it, the whole robot will malfunction. The girls did really fast, but will their robot really work? Well it depends on whether they did it properly. When we were almost finished, it was time to go back to school. Our heart sank as we were reluctant to go back to school. I think this CCA is very interesting. If you have the chance to join robotics, please join in or else you will regret for your whole life(just exaggerating)
