Imagine RIT - in May

It's Imagine RIT!  Where I can play with Robots!

And invest money into projects that students have designed.

Like this cool, and useful, drone with an IR Camera

Now I'd liked to build my own Baymax, that would be cool!

You have to make sure to line up your shot at the balloons, even if you can't really angle it up or down.

The Chevy Bolt is a near looking electric car.

I prefer the Corvette though!

I could see myself driving it around.

Next up, juggling practice.

It's not that easy to do.

We always need to stop at the trains and see how they are coming.  Looking good!

Richie!  He's always a favorite of mine to see, and get a picture with.

I also learned that you can make a curve out of straight lines.  Neat trick!

I got to play with the light laser maze.  I've had some practice on this at home.

This bird is designed to balance perfectly.  Check it out, I got it on my nose!

The tops are fun.  I can get them to spin upside down without even having to force the issue.

Using my momentum I can make myself go slower, by putting my arms out...

 Or Faster by bringing them in.

The ball experiment taught me about how gravity works.  Kinda neat.

Although the liquid nitrogen made ice cream is always a favorite!

I even got to control a robot arm, to save the princess.

I almost got all the dinosaurs down in the time he gave me!

I met a cute cat, who has no working back-legs, so they had designed an open source cat cart for her.  It was neat.

And finished my day with driving a robot through a maze using a smart phone app.
All in all a fun day filled with Science and Engineering, and such, at Imagine RIT!
