  1. On the bad side, today's really hot. On the plus side, the applied robotics course was cool and I got to play around with sensors, motors, and a lego cow.

      1. @critialcloudkicker The course was on two parts today, witha lunch break. Before the break it focused on programming the robot to do basic math when you pressed the buttons on it; after the break it focused on applying it to an automated counting system based on sensors, be it by rotation, light, ultrasonic or any of the available systems. The project was presented, to make it simple to understand, as a cow counter. Originally we used wheels as placeholders for the cows, but since I finished with the sensor system and had to wait for the proffessor I grabbed some legos and built a lego cow with two wheels to use instead of the big wheel.

              1. @critialcloudkicker Dude I'd buy ten.

                  1. @critialcloudkicker I don't want to spend all the money at once. I'll buy ten, milk legos, sell, and buy more cows. Eventually I'd have all the legos.

                    1. @nerthos Don't be silly... I have a money cow. I cannot simply "all of my money"

                      1. @critialcloudkicker Yes you can. With the fine art of loans.
