Robotics has started! Teehee! Balls, hoops, and more balls. Good fun. I hope projectile motion doesn't fail us now.

Did you ever figure out what was up with that equation? It's really bothering me still...

Robotics just started for us too. My friend Dan was not too pleased about giving up ten hours of his Saturday for the kick-off.

And I have just figured out the all-time best response to an AP Physics question:

Mech. 3. c. ii: Compare the experimental and theoretical values of x for a counterweight bucket mass of 300 kg. Offer a reason for any difference.
  • air friction
  • inertia
  • fairies
  • magic
  • elves

Clearly, I am en route to a 5.

But apparently you can get an 18 on the multiple-choice section and still end up with a 4 (assuming you ace the free-response, of course...)...... so it's all good. My theory is to just write what I should do, even if I don't know how to do it. Like....

v = dx/dt ..... if I can't take the derivative (I have problems with that, especially when it's something like 8/(1+5t).

wow. took me a while to figure it out. finally opened my yahoo email account, and i've been wondering why the hell i have so many "replies to my post/comment." that's BECAUSE YOU HAVEN"T CHANGED YOUR EMAIL SETTING BERGER AND THEY"RE STILL SENDING EMAIL TO ME.

(notice i used all capitals to show my anger, just like they taught us not to do in fourth grade.)
