I made it to the 4th class. Today we built a freaking robot! It goes forward until it senses something close, then it goes backwards and turns around! I made mine quite messy and unrefined, but it works. The wheels are just glued onto a piece of foamboard, but it wasn’t straight, but I think it gives the robot character. The breadboard and Arduino are attached solely by pipe cleaners. I attached googly eyes though. It’s pretty cute anyway.
I didn’t think very much of my ability to do this. I guess I don’t have very much faith in myself, especially as of late, but I still keep on keeping on, mostly because what other choice do I have? And here is proof that persistence pays off, that we can overcome our own perceived, self-inflicted shortcomings, and that showing up for ourselves matter, no matter how late.
