So it was a good little break. And then back to work and reality. I have been working a lot on making graphics and updates and upgrades and everything! I've also been doing some serious robot building.
Red Stick Robotics has been doing a high school robotics class and a competition. They also invited media to participate in the competition. Though in Baton Rouge, no one...other than myself decided to participate. I did robotics at my high school back in New York. Team 529 in the F.I.R.S.T. organization. Anyway, my strengths are in the engineering and problem solving aspect of the deal--not in the programming. Like the guys in Apollo 13, give me a box of stuff and tell me what it has to do and I can think it out and design something to do it. Ask me to program the robot to search its way around a room by itself and its going to take me a while. So now I have a little over a week to program my robot to follow a white line and pick stuff up. So much thinking.
And on top of all of this I am still going to CrossFit every other day! After about a month of going now, I finally have stopped being sore after every workout. I am now getting into the habit of a better diet. The biggest thing? No carbohydrates in the evening! Morning and lunch? Sure. But not at night. Andrew (the owner and trainer of Red Stick CrossFit) said that carbs at night gets stored as fat. But carbs during the day (morning and lunch) will burn off by night time! Who would have thought?!
I think that about does it. I think I've gotten caught up. More to follow tomorrow. I need to relax now. There was a serious core workout today. :-D
