A(t)=90cos(20t)+90

^ Kori's formula.
It is quite simple and nothing new, but it was just a way to, as a function of time passed, make some little thing with an angle range of 180 degrees move back and fourth.
The fact that I even was able to partially come up with, and totally edit and troubleshoot, the formula so that we'd have a decent rate of speed.
nothing big, but hearing "Kori's formula" in conversation is a big deal. for me.
even though I am still the crappiest programmer ever.

you should have seen me when I totally got the formula to work though.

Me: "It'll work"
Them: "you know that after it goes to 180 degrees, it'll stop."
Me: "no it won't, look at the graph"
Them: "ohhhh, you used cosine, you sneaky--"
Me: "I KNOWWWW!" *jumps up and down*


college, no idea.
i've gone from vet to teacher to math teacher to engineer to computer science . . .
no idea what I want to do.
I do know that Robotics will likely change my life for the better.

AND EVERYONES SO COOL!
from the guy who didn't let me near a screwdriver in the beginning.
and the mentors, who are just the coolest adults ever
and that one kid who speaks spanish
and that guy who plays guitar with me during downtime
and that guy who wants me to teach him speedsolving
and my ninja friend, the only other girl who is a part of the actual build
and all of the random references that I barely understand being thrown around
and talking about how my calculator looks like companion cube

AND EVERYONE IN ROBOTICS IN GENERAL
like that guy at the kick off, and I ambushed him and solved his rubiks cube, then ran off.
And my group for the kickoff, where we bounced ideas.
and when we were all cheering at the beginning, at like 6 am

AND EVERYTHING.

I really wish that I could spend all of my time in robotics, and learn EVERYTHING.
It would really be the best life ever.

5: Balloons scare me. just a little bit, but like when someone looks like they're going to pop one, I freak. like really freak.
4: I fear that my little sister will turn into a hipster.
3: I could probably talk about my views on anything forever, though I don't quite understand what I think, and I know I won't till I get all of the thoughts out in speech. I need someone to vent to so I can figure out what I think. Like a rough draft, but for idealology.
2: My car battery went out while I was waiting in my car for 2 hours for my mom to come back form where she was (going to get her paycheck ersomething. . .) I freaked when my radio died, somehow manevured myself into the back seat, somehow got my guitar out of the case, and played terribly till she came back and I was able to start my car.
1: I just bought the new Los Campesinos! album.
