Fun Stuff

I built this robot in high school. Programmable by means of a detachable keypad, the robot could carry out simple maneuvers. Every boy should build his own robot. However, in retrospect that only age can provide, I think the responsibility of caring for a pet dog would have been better.

I also built a telephone, picture coming soon.

When

Y = 2X² + 7,
then Y’ = 4X

Isn’t calculus fun!

Childhood dream.
