Imperial Star Destroyer

My latest project. I got this as a birthday present, it's one of the big Star Wars Lego spaceships. This is going to take longer than a day or 2 to put together, and I have to work on it with my Dad. I can't wait!!!!
Here's the base which is the part of the spaceship where all the little people go. The first thing I always do is put all the lego people together. I can follow the directions and do this by myself!

Robofest

Today we went to the Sony Lab on Madison and 56th st to see the first annual Robofest! It is groups of kids that use mostly Lego to design robots, and this is a contest for dancing robots. There was a show and we could see the robots up close, some dancing and others doing all sorts of things. The first thing I noticed tho was the giant Spiderman climbing down the glass wall.
My friend Elias and I were amazed at all the robots and the many configurations of Lego, processors, tires, sensors, parts and pieces.
This one looked like a cool airplane fighting machine,
and this one had a face!
This one moved back and forth.

It was programmed to see the black line and not cross it, but to turn and go the other way. It actually stayed inside it's oval and didn't get away or fall off of the table.
I can't wait til Daddy helps me build my own robot. These are fantastic!

My New Birthday Bike

I got a brand new bicycle for my 5th birthday!
Here Daddy is helping me put it together, tho I really did most of it myself. I put on the tires, pedals, and now I am tightening the seat. The little blue and silver bike is my old bike I got when I was 3. It's way too small for me now. This new one goes much faster!!! Check out the slide show at the end...





Here is a link to a slide show of the rest... My New Bike!
