Brittany’s Favourite Things

The other day Mr. Grey came in to tell about robots. In class we are studying about robots. Mr. Grey came in brought robots for us to see and test out. It was totally awesome. In this post I am going to tell you about the fun we had and jobs the robots do.

” Now who wants to drive this robot” as Mr. Grey points at green robot. Blake was first to drive. Our goal was to pick up a yellow tennis ball. I wish I can remember the green robot’s name but I can’t.

This next robot is called the Vexplorer. You can control this robot from a TV kinda like how they operate Dextre and the Canadarm2. I drove that one too. It was so cool.

Two Days Later. . .

Mr. Grey came back with the Vexplorer. Me, Haley, Max and Kris got interviewed by a reporter from Comox Valley Record newspaper. It was so cool because the day after we got interviewed we got our picture in the newspaper. 

I guess your wondering what the different jobs robots do. Well they do jobs from dangerous to boring. Here’s the list for dangerous jobs.

• High Toxic Fumes are too dangerous for humans
• Fires can give a person 3rd degree burns (Ouch)
• when explosions happen robots can what set the explosion

Here’s the list for boring jobs

• Chores if the human is sick or injured (vacuuming, lawn etc)

You see all the jobs and others. Robotics is very cool. But I can tell you one thing robots are awesome.
