Exciting Projects

This post is from from my other blog here

I'm dealing with another major headache today. It's this weather really. One night we'll be freezing at 29 or below, then the next it's 40, then highs in the day fluctuate between 45 and 70. It's a wonder I haven't gotten sick yet and the headaches are the only thing bothering me. Anyway...

We just got back from our 4-H/co-op meeting and have some exciting things on the horizon! First of all, our county 4-H is having a photography contetst and a poster contest as well. Babs is entering the photography contest and her deadline is this coming Monday. She has to present pictures with the theme of " something that someone would be doing in 4-H". Today she took photos of the the various classes doing their things. One of those were of the Robotics class, testing a robot they have been programming to pick up objects at the clap of a hand. Clap on, clap off! ;)
Starting tomorrow, the group goes into "training" little big man included. They will meet twice a week, plus our Monday 4-H meetings to train, build and prepare for a Robotics competition they will enter in March. It will be held in Viera, FL on March 10th. So you can imagine they have a lot of work to do! It's a team effort/competition and winners can earn scholarships and go on to national championships in Michigan. Who knows if they will achieve that, but the possibilities in Robotics is endless. My son has always had an interest in programming, so he's full into this! His mouth runneth over with talk of Robotics. They are using the Lego Mindstorms program. I'll post pictures and updates as they near the competition time.

Well, I'm off to nurse a headache. Blessing to all my readers!
