Walking the Graph

Recently, our class did an experiment with motion detectors. We were told to attempt to match the graph by moving forward and backwards at certain speeds in front of the motion detector. it seemed quite easy at first since it was only distance... but when we got to velocity, well... That didn't work out as we thought it might xD

To have a perfect velocity that matches the graph exactly is pretty much impossible to do. Quoting Mr. Chung,"You've gotta be a robot to do it perfectly! ;D" Looking back at our velocity graphs i see that we were not consistent even though we did our best to get it right it perfect.

MOTOR LAB!!! xDD

Recently we just had an experiment creating an electric motor. My partner (Siyuan) and I diligently worked to create the best motor possible. Unfortunately we encountered several problems on the way. Which in turn made my partner spazz out from why it was not working properly. Lol he told me he had a nightmare that our motor didn't work and that we had failed ;D. Luckily it didn't come to that! Instead we overcame our difficulties and made a motor that seemed like it would never stop! ;)

Our experience... was a wild one. Like I said before, after our first try we were confuzzled as to why it didn't work. But before all that happened, we were determined to be the very best of the best, so we took every measure (almost ;P) that it'll work properly. In the end, we did manage to work out the kinks in our motor and after seeing our motor work like it should have. My partner and I did our celebratory handshake, but we were too overjoyed to do it properly so instead we just grinned like there was no tomorrow!~
