First of all, I would like to apologize to all my fans for not blogging recently. Second, I'd also like to laugh at my enemies who thought I was dead! Thank you for your patience everyone, but now I'd like to announce that for the first time ever, my team is going to FIRST FRC World Championship in Detroit, MI!
This is a big accomplishment for my team and I am so happy to call then my friends! I have been very busy preparing for competition and competing, which is why I have not blogged recently!
I enjoy blogging as much as you all enjoy reading it, but schoolwork gets in the way sometimes too. I am very excited for the competition, and there is much to be done on my robot, so I do not know when I will blog again.
Let me tell you about a story of how I used what I learned in FIRST to help me outside of my robot life. I am currently in my honors biology class, and I find it rather easy, yet tedious. Especially with transferring DNA and genetics. So using my programming knowledge that I acquired, I wrote a program that turns DNA to RNA to Amino Acids, or works backwards and takes RNA and displays the DNA it was used in and the Amino Acids it creates with its codons.
This program was kinda fun to write, yet very frustrating, because I had to write a huge dictionary. It all worked out after an hour of sitting in front of my raspberry pi however.
I am proud of this project, as it shows that FIRST really does have an impact on the lives of students, outside and inside the classroom.
Before I leave, I want to promise you all that I will try my best to get another blog in before Worlds!
Good luck to all of you in your nerdy or robotics lives, but remember you are not just doing this for fame or fortune, it's for your future!
