Robotic Chimp

The robotic chimp was made to go to the moon. Because of the embedded electronics in the spine, the overall structure can be used as a 6-axis force-torque sensor, allowing it a range of movement that replicates human and animal mobility. The robot is also equipped with a distance sensor in the heel to anticipate the heel strike and two temperature sensors to compensate for the difference in temperature produced by its own electronics.

Wikipedia opinion 4/15/15

Wikipedia is very helpful to many people. I use Wikipedia a lot and it has helped me a lot with school work such as essays and reports. I believe that Wikipedia is he most helpful website for researching.

Spring Break

This spring break was very fun and a great experience. I had a lot of time to hang out with friends and play football and basketball. I went on a mini vacation to a resort called Crystal Springs in New York. While I was there, I went swimming, played basketball, and hung out at the arcade with my cousins. The pool was really cool, it had a huge slide and had fish around the sides so it felt as if I was swimming with fish.
One of the best parts of my spring break was not having to wake up early for school. I also watched the NCAA tournament over the break. Sadly, I had Wisconsin winning it all so I won nothing. I ate a lot of junk food. Some places where I ate were Burger King, Jersey Pizza, McDonalds and Wendy's. Spring break was fun.
