//One of the things that we tried with our bot was to program the robot with Microsoft Robotics: Developer Studio. //

**//A Basic Intro://** //Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio is a free program, available from Microsoft. It is one of a few free advanced visual based software that hobbyist and students could their hand on. My name is Andrew, I am the web developer for Team Breakdown as well as the programmer and part-time engineer. I will be heading this project. I am very lucky to have this program on a laptop that I have access to. For our project, I hope to incorporate this program in the design as while the programming parts of our bot. I want to use visual simulations to check out the program and design before we put the final touches to our prototype.//



// I hope to use this program during the Easter break to work on our robot. I will hopefully write a detailed journal entry each day about our experience using the program as well as going a bit further than the curriculum and doing an introduction to the programs that I will face in the future. //

Day One: The Beginning Today is April 23rd, 2011. It could be said as the first day of my plan, today I modified all the wik'si that I had time to get to. I have also created a plan for me to self teach myself the basics of Microsoft Robotics.

Day Two: The Procrastination Today is May 9th, 2011. After a great anticipation and great amount thinking. I believe that programing with Microsoft Robtotics is far fitched idea. We were unable to have time to do it. Instead we will go back to the Easy C for Vex to program our robot and hopefully put into full automated mode. However I was able to creat hello world in Microsoft Robtics, the first tutorial.

Day Three Today is May 10th, 2011. Today we were able to write a simple code for the robot after we finished the building process. However we did have a chance to test our code.

Day Four Today is May 11th, we manage to finish revising the code and put on the robot.
