Yesterday and a few days before that we began to work on things for L.E.G.I.T, my role is the Photographer and to work on mechanical. Valaria is going to teach me the basics on doing the mechanical work, because as a photographer I would need another job to actually contribute to the group, I'm also thinking about doing Electrical, because when we did the electrical workshop I found it kind of fascinating and I enjoyed working on the robot. What I'm going to do next is make sure to take pictures of when the group is working, then I will upload them on the computer and edit some, add more color, crop, simple things like that. Afterwards I will send them To Valeria so she can upload them on the L.E.G.I.T website for others to see our progress and what we have been doing. So far the only pictures I have edited was the picture of the underwater robot.

      Today there was going to be a scrimmage for this competition that is going to be held in December, but   today is is practice so we are aware and have an idea of what are duties are for that day. When I got there and the hallway was full with kids from middle schools, I didn't think there were going to be so many, I just anticipated there were going to be about four teams, but I was way wrong! After watching them compete close to the end I was very surprised of how much spirit the team from A.S.U had. They were jumping up and down screaming "A.S.U! A.S.U!" And somehow that did help in a way because everything somehow dropped into place like how they would want it to end like. I was also very flabbergasted of how young they are yet they seem to have much experience with setting up the robot and knowing what it's supposed to do. Even when I was passing in the hallways students weren't playing around most of the time, they were huddled around their robot talking about their next strategy and what they should do to succeed. The kids also seemed very involved and seemed as they had a passion for what they are doing. Some parents also seemed proud of what their kids have accomplished, they were smiling and taking pictures of the event as their kids competed.
