Today is my last official duty as a Rose-Hulman student. I have to give a demo of my robotics project. I built a little car that has a SONAR sensor on the front. It stops if it senses an obstacle in front of it. I personally think it’s pretty cool. We were originally supposed to have a final in that class, but the prof decided to make the finals period the demo time. It was to be my only final for the quarter so now I don’t have any, and yes, that is as good as it sounds.
I also had to give a presentation on my senior design project last Monday night. It went pretty well. We got compliments on both the project and the presentation. We built a touchscreen LCD screen for the ChallengeX car. It has an animated powerflow map so people will know what is happening in the car. It’s pretty similar to the Prius’ LCD screen.
I’m moving out this Saturday. Oh what a day. I hate moving, but I am really looking forward to that day. It feels like a giant weight is falling off my shoulders. Next Monday, my grades will come out, and if all goes well, I will be officially free.
