Today I watched Sci Q robots. At Legoland there is a robot roller coster. It is a robot that is used to make cares with roller coster seats attached. There are 5 levels on it, not so crazy to crazy. Another lego robot  is LEGO Mindstorms. LEGO Mindstorms is the easy way to make robots, it has motors to move it. it also has sensors. Mindstorms are resent but robots have ben around for hundreds of years, even without computers. The way that they did a long time ago is using gears and winding it up.

Today I watched when pigs fly. 2 guys from new york makes remote control flying stuff. They can make anything fly. They made a flying lawn mower and a pig. The pig was not real, it was out of plastic and they drew the face. In order to make something fly they need to have their stuff have drag, thrust, and left. They aren’t the only ones who make things fly. someone made the aircar. The aircar is the most successful flying car. but it was not on sale because they needed 500 order but they got 250. but only 5 was made.
