'Twas the night before the last day of first semester, when all through TR
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse (I HOPE!)
The decorations were hung on classroom doors with care,
In hopes that students enjoy a 1:30 Dismissal day full of Holiday Cheer!"
So it doesn't rhyme or meet the rules of poetry..... Wishing our Twin River Community the Happiest of Holiday Breaks! We will see you all on January 6th.
This year's Intro to IT class once again constructed Robotic Arms using scrap items from around the shop, syringes and aquarium hose. Before building their arms, we discussed gears, hydraulics and pneumatics and the advantages and disadvantages of each. They then had to problem solve and create a Robotic Arm that would be able to pick up 3, 1"x1" square wooden blocks (one at a time) from "Point A" and place it at "Point B." The team that completed the task in the least amount of time would be the winner.
Barrett and Tate completed the task in 1 minute and 4 seconds. Brenden (who lost his partner Ethan during the year and finished his Robotic Arm by himself) won the competition with a best time of 42.8 seconds. Well done Gentleman!
