NXT Challenge at RMSC Camp

So do you like the sumo bot that my friend G and me made?

We revamped the bot after are practice runs.. Hopefully it does better (in the practice runs we had issues)

I think it it will work!

Preparing for the first battle... Which we won!

Somehow we won the second battle (I couldn't look)

Well we lost in the final round, onto the loser bracket...

We won in the loser bracket... but lost to the top bot again...

Well I'd say we had the 2nd best robot.. Proven through multiple fights!

Writing a Program to Move a Robot

So this is how you write a program to move a robot around guys...

I learned this at my Robot Camp I'm at.

Big Airplane!

Grammie gave me this awesomely big airplane...

This thing flies great and far!

It was hot from playing with it... So I got a popsicle.

Cleveland Indians Game!

For Dad and Mom's Birthday we are going to go watch a Cleveland Indians' baseball game.

Go Tribe!  (and way to go Cavs ;) )

Well it's raining right now, and the game is being delayed... Let's throw some balls!

I threw it 30MPH!

Check out the collection of us, sitting in rain ponchos waiting for the game to start :)

Mom and I are ready :)

Hey it's game time!  Cousin N has some cotton candy.

As does Cousin C.

I have two handfuls and a mouth full of cotton candy :)

He's hoping for a good game, and a win for the Tribe...

We Won!!!!!!

Awesome!!!!!

We're all so happy...

It ended on Mom's Birthday...

So the Fireworks for Dad's B-day came on Mom's B-day :)

They were a "blast" :)

Minigolf for Dad's Birthday!

 Dad wanted to go Minigolfing for his birthday...

So a bunch of us went to play..

Wandering through the holes...

Mom got a hole in one!

And we had to block the water ways at time.

Benches After Dinner

After dinner, we tried to get a picture on the bench... but the sun was shining into our eyes.

So all of us were having a hard time looking at the parents with cameras....

Oh well.. maybe if you combined these into one to make a perfect picture? :)

Hanging at the Park with my Cousins

Cousins!!!! It's time to play some catch.

Uncle J is helping me on my proper grip to throw better.

Then after some catch, we played some cards (Nuts!)

I got to help teach everyone how to play.

Cousin N is enjoying herself.

See her making funny faces over the Dads?

Next up... Some football!

Not sure the teams are fair... but hey it's fun.

We are trying to strategize on what to do to stop these two.

And the Dad's watch on :)

I've got him.. I've got him....

He's is escaping!  Get him!

Afterwards we got together to get a better group shot...

 Dad hopped in to join us all.

Then his brothers joined in.

Then we added Grammie :)

With a bit of silliness :)

Which is just something that has to be done.

We then moved from a park to the backyard at Uncle J's house.

Where we raced to see what the teams for a baseball game would be...

Then it was time to play some ball!

I played pitcher for me team...

And got some good hits in...

Of course... every fun day can have some problems... While running around the house I bumped my head... Like my unicorn horn?
