Writer's Note

Robotics History, Liam's testament to robotics. From humble, and controversial beginnings, it has become the icon that will define a team. It all started when Liam wanted to inform his partner, Chase, of what happened. But, from there it grew , through trials, and hardships, it persevered. Of course it is known as a historical, functional, and fun document, that brings waves of nostalgia, but it is more than that. It is our team's way of immortalizing events, and setting us apart from other teams. It has also been the reason the team has become a major core values award contender, winning core values once because of it, getting second once because of it, and a third once, too. (and also the team's general awesomeness helped us win those awards too). But now, brought to you by the Robotics History team, it's the unedited* trilogy of the beloved classic;Robotics History.

*Book one had a prologue and epilogue added, and all books were spell checked. 

Book One

Prologue

Book one of Robotics History, where it all began. This is the true starting place of Robotics History, and, in a sense, the beginning of a new team, with the older team losing almost all it's members, and us moving up. This was truly the dawn of an era of brilliant minds, in constructing robots with Blue Eyes, Green Machine, and Bob the Builder being made; and, of course, brilliant minds in the category of robotics literature. 

Chapter 1, Robotics History. 9-7-2019

The day where no sensors worked. On this sad day all sensors failed to work. This changed everyone's programs drastically, with many resorting to dead reckoning, to avoid their robots spinning and being worthless.

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History. Chapter 2: 9/10/2019. 

On this day Liam and Chase argue in the loop war (over who caused the loop malfunction). The war's outcome is undetermined.  Later Liam and Chase both work on seperate things. Also, Logan tried to scare Liam. Joey was absent along with Mr. Price. Also, no progress was made on programming.

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

        Robotics History. Chapter 3. 9/14/2019. 

On this day, "The Chase Way'' Is patented. On this day also, the second deposit is within reach. Liam constructed a modern masterpiece tower. Also, Chase poses a death threat to liam. He said (direct quote) "I'm gonna murder you." Also, the day is cut short by the project. Conner and Porter also drop their robot, and it is destroyed.

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

Robotics History. Chapter 4.  9/17/2019. 

On this day, Chase works on building more. After finishing the building, Chase and Liam try it out. The result is very inconsistent. Also, Logan's robot won't work. Liam and Porter forge a friendship over Chase's irrelevant vocabulary. Also, Liam gains an "Architect" reputation, making his towers legendary. And, Vincent generously promises to bring in some gears. Maya also got braces, too. At the beginning Liam and Chase cannot find their jig. Robotics got kicked out of the media center and work in the hallway, today. Chase's updated attachment is unsuccessful and crappy. Also, Professor Liam has become a household name. Finally, Liam and Porter "patent" a perfume commercial.

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History. Chapter 5. 9/21/2019

Today robotics is bad again. Liam and Chase are plagued by poor attachments, and have restarted their attachment. Meanwhile, they work in MP1 due to a book sale in the hall. Logan and Joey's computer is updating and is taking forever. This has halted their progress. But, Conner and  Porter's program is working well. That is the only good thing of today. They are the farthest by a long streak. All in all, today has been just as bad as the first day of robotics history.  

Prof. Liam, Robotics History. 

Robotics History. Chapter 6. 9/24/2019

On this day, it starts with tragedy. Liam and Chase make no progress, Liam drops a house, and Conner drops their robot. Later, now motivated, Liam and Chase get massive amounts of work done. The re-do deposit 1, and almost complete deposit 2. Logan's robot is very close. He also screams like a young boy.  Conner and Porter have large amounts of mistakes/glitches. They are being fixed at this very moment. Chase also becomes a reporter, he gathers information for the beloved Robotics History. Special thanks to Reporter Chase!

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History. Chapter 7. 9/28/2019

On this day, Chase is gone, working on his Eagle Project. Liam is working on the deposits. He gets red, and almost tan. Then Mrs. Putnam recommends he changes it and does tan, then red. Liam creates another program to attempt this feat. Conner and Porter were having a rough day, but now they have successfully found a way to do the swing (By accident). Logan and Joey were also having a rough time, and their program has yet to be fixed. In other news, Liam has gained an amazing fan base for his programming. Congratulations to Conner and Porter, the luckiest programmers!

 Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History. Chapter 8. 10/1/2019

On the first day of October, it is literally less scary than September. Chase and Liam work on fine tuning (getting it to actually work) their program. Porter and Conner are doing incredible, with the swing done, and the rest of their program nearing completion. Joey works solo today, dealing with more drifting problems. Liam and Chase's program still needs work, with it being off most of the time. Conner and Porter get the elevator mission done. (Almost) The Gyro sensor is officially the least useful sensor, according to Mrs. Putnam, after she sees it drift/not work. To sum today up, it has been successful, and fun.

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History. Chapter 9. 10/5/2019

Today is a day of completion. Chase and Liam create the C-3PO program, which deposits tan and red almost perfectly. And Logan and Joey get their program to work, too. Porter works with Mr. Price because Conner got sick. They make decent progress. Also, today is the first very cold day. Making it memorable for that also. Mrs. Putnam entertains Chase and Liam with a fascinating story about one of her college friends. So, to sum up today it has been a slow dull day. With much success, but no comedy. And, while Chase and Liam are an amazing "Pit Crew" They forget to put the latch on. A memorable screw up....!

Special thanks to Kara, who came here today! Possibly Liam's crush (that was added by Chase)

Prof. Liam, Robotics 

        Robotics History. Chapter 10. 10/8/2019

Happy tenth edition! To celebrate, I have prepared the top three helpers to my robotics career. But first; some history. Today Liam and Chase build a totem to deposit. The architecture of it is stunningly beautiful. Conner and Porter work on the traffic jam, and swing. They have the traffic jam done (I think) Joey is here today too, he works on programming alone in Logan's absence. Liam and Chase conspire about Logan's absences, wondering what is happening. They have concluded space dolphins did it. The space dolphins will be explained later. (P.S, the government doesn't want you to know about space dolphins) And now, the top 3 helpers of Liam's robotics career this year. 3. Porter, providing the support to keep Liam's morale up. 2. Chase: He has provided laughs, help, and companionship. 1. Mrs. Putnam. She has influenced the program in so many ways, and been kind to everyone. Without her, robotics would be different.

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History.Chapter 11. 10/15/2019.

Today is the scrimmage! Liam, Chase, and the team all suckkkkk at the matches earning 140, 120, and 295, the highest of the night Points. Liam and Chase spend eons contemplating the age-old-question. soda, oreo-brownie, 2 cookies, or hot-dog..? The outcome is not determined. Porter gets peanut M&Ms and very generously gives Liam 3.

Overall, this history is short, due to a busy time. Special thanks to Porter who gave Liam some M&Ms.

Prof. Liam, Robotics History 

        Robotics History. Chapter 12. 10/19/2019

Today Liam and Chase work on getting a ready to go up the bridge robot. Connor works on a color sensor shield, and Logan and Joey work on their program. In conclusion, today was very uneventful.

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History. Chapter 13. 10/22/2019

Today Liam and Chase conspire about the Other Team stealing their Jig. They even conduct a secret mission on infiltrating their side of the room. This mission failed, showing they didn't do anything (yet). Also the other team's robot ran off the bridge, demolishing it. And Mrs. Putnam gives out many, many candy bars!

Special thanks to Mrs. Putnam, the candy giver!

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

        Robotics History. Chapter 14.10/26/2019

Today, Kara is here. And, Liam and Chase work on their attachment. But, that stuff is boring. The exciting part is that Chase and Logan were going to get into a fight. Everyone bet on Chase. (Except Logan, who bet on Logan) Also, Logan and Conner harmonize in "For The First Time In Forever" after a poor word choice by Chase.  Liam and Chase get into an argument with Mr. Price about their attachment. Courtney saves them though, by agreeing with their plans. Now, they must get every run perfect, or else Mr. Price will try to prove his Idea. Bum bum bahhh! In theatres 12/14/2019. Logan has apparently got a telepathic device to communicate with the space dolphins. He wears the helmet every day... And, if you take it off he can't hear the dolphins. Liam heard the dolphins when he tried on the helmet. And they prophesied that the younger team would destroy  them... Liam and Chase also chat with Maya and Kara!

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

Robotics History. Chapter 15. 10/29/2019

Today is a dull day. Chase drops some things, Logan drops some things, and Liam and Chase argue about the program. But, nonetheless today is successful, as they make progress on programming. The main event is the "Chair War'' where Chase steals a chair, and the conflict escalates into the chairs getting taken away. This event is just part of a build up in the events of Chase and Porter. Logan said robotics history was "Exciting, never the same, and random!" (Logan Hollowood. 10/29/2019) Chase says it is "Entertaining!" (Chase Stephens 10/29/2019) "A moving picture of robotics.'' (Cheryl Putnam. 10/29/2019)

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

Robotics History. Chapter 16. 11/02/2019

Today is a tragedy. First, Mrs. Putnam tells Liam and Chase to not write the history. Then they peer pressure them into changing their program... And now, Liam and Chase are standing up for their rights to program how they want in the "Sensor Rebellion". Liam and Chase are doing the first large act of it, the forbidden history. They also have changed their programs from the pressure, but are debating whether or not to tell the mentors and give them the pleasure of knowing they were right. But, none the less the rebellion rages on, gathering support! P.S. The mentors openly said stuff about a NO FUN DAY!!!

Rebel Leader Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History. Chapter 17. 11/5/2019

Today is amazing, it is profitable in code and the rebellion has a major act. To start the codenames are being established. (Will be listed in separate documents) Also, everyone is wildly into the rebellion, with everyone mentioning the codenames, and act of defiance, or other things. The rebellion is still building, but when it's major day happens chaos will break loose. But, the first noted act of defiance is when Liam and Chase deny color sensing when they think there is a better alternative in dead reckoning. Also, the symbol is made. The traditional "Peace" Sign, as Logan taught then. It is a "V" for Victory.

The rebellion rages on, with no new members but infinitely more morale.

Rebel Leader Liam, Robotics History 

Robotics History. Chapter 18. 11/12/19

Today was successful because Chase and Mrs. Putnam (Liam was sick) are almost done with the bridge! Porter and Conner are close to completing the elevator but they need to get their alignment right. Also, Joey and Logan are not here today and so only Chase, Connor, and Porter are working on their programs. Many victories were made today and many happy faces were present.

Reporter Chase Stephens/Jr. Professor Porter, Robotics History

Robotics History. Chapter 19. 11/16/2019

Today they work on the project. they make pages of their app. That was mostly uneventful. Then they work on a robot lining up bullseye things. and then Porter and Chase share a brotherly hug. (Chase says he was actually trying to crush his bones) also, Liam is back! Nobody cares.. :( . Also feelings of hatred are made during the challenge. Liam and Chase get a bullseye first, but so do Porter and Connor.... in the second round they get nothing, and they get nothing in the third round. The winner of the challenge is.. Connor and Porter win the 'atta boy!

Liam and Chase are infinitely jealous...

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History. Chapter 20. 11/19/19

Happy 20th anniversary!!! To have the wonderful day started, Chase has finally perfected the bridge and Logan and Porter work hard on their programs and gain much success. Only Chase, Porter, and Logan showed up for the 20th anniversary:( In all, only half the team showed up. Chase has finished the bridge at only an hour (ish). The rebellion has made a wonderful move. We have been given the decision to work on our programs or do the script for the app. We chose the programming and here we are. Sadly, someone has banned the rolly chairs. "I, Vincent Anderson, declare NO CHAIRS to be rolling!"  The Rebellion was almost compromised there, but Vincent didn't see. Shout out to Army Major Stephens, who helped create Robotics History today.

General Chase Stephens Robotics History

Quote of the day,"The Rebellion rages on with or without the incredible Rebel Leader Liam!".

Robotics History. Chapter 21. 12/3/2019

Today Liam, Logan, and Connor spend the first 20 minutes chatting. Logan displays an amazing lack of knowledge in internet culture after he doesn't know what "Ok, Boomer" is. Chase and Porter are (still) on vacation. There is no talk of rebellion today. In fact, the rebellion has faded out, in large part due to Mrs. Putnam's constant absence. Also they work on the project. Liam and Logan get starring roles! Liam stole the second starring role from Porter. Everyone laughs and has a great time on the project!

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

        Robotics History. Chapter 22. 12/5/2019

Today Chase and Porter are back! They work on the skit and have a great time. They all make excessive jokes. It is a great day! They all talk a lot, Chase even talks about trying to impress hot (supermodel) moms! Also, they color the pages for the skit. Liam and Logan agree to wear sweatbands in the skit too...

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History. Chapter 23. 12/7/2019

Today is truly amazing! Liam and Chase get a run with everything perfect except the monument and the bridge's second flag. They also have a lot of criticism for having fun today. Logan and Joey are doing well, and Conner and Porter  do well too. But nobody succeeded as much as Liam and Chase today. At the end everyone reads the scripts, and does the project.

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

        Robotics History. Chapter 24. 12/10/2019

Today is 4 days until the competition. Today everyone works on the runs. Liam and Chase debate on telling Logan about an embarrassing thing about his clothing. (Not going to list it here). Also, they work on the project, because this is the last meeting before the competition! *Suspense intensifies* All and all today is good, they get a lot of runs in. And work on the project a lot. Also, Liam accidentally pets the wrong robot, comforting it after it fell from the bridge. He gets hand sanitizer after realizing his embarrassing mistake...

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

Epilogue 

After the last history, more were written, but lost to the universe. The competition went well, with the space dolphin's prophecy coming true, as the younger team beat us with a perfect run. After the competition, one last meeting was held, where Liam was awarded the "program historian award" Signifying the dawn of a new era, where Robotics History will be embraced, not opposed. But then, with the mall show on the horizon, and sunnier times ahead, disaster struck, and it's name was Coronavirus. 

Book Two

Prologue

This year the team is far smaller. Many members were taken off the team...(they are alive though). The mentors have given robotics history numerous awards and it became a New York Times best seller, also a starred review on booklist. But this year presents new challenges, from a smaller team, to social distancing. Will the team survive, or will fans be watching the worst moments on REPLAY......

Robotics History, Chapter 1, 8/15/2020

This week was deleted through what was probably sabotage. The important events were

-Mrs. Putnam brought cupcakes

-Robotics history is started

-Liam and Connor worked together

-Porter became my editor

Prof. Liam, Robotics history

Robotics History, Chapter 2, 8/18/2020

Today Liam and Porter waste 99% of the day on watching memes/"helping Liam." In an odd twist the mentors don't care about slacking off and Liam wants to work! But- Porter's "help" aside Liam gets the pull-up bar thing to work (mostly). And this is also Blue Eyes's last mission. The new blue eyes is going to be used from now on. R.I.P Blue Eyes 2019-2020. After this I am not emotionally ready to do anything other than stop writing for today.

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

R.I.P Blue Eyes

Robotics History, Chapter 3, 8/22/2020

Today the team works on the project. WE decide to make a game show (Liam's idea) and call it "Wheel of Fitness!" (Liam's idea) We also find out Meghan wants a scary dystopian government with "fitness police" and "forcing them to drink water that makes them active." Thankfully there is no time wasted by watching memes & stuff. Also nobody was put on the dreaded tree trunk of shame! *scary music*

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History, Chapter 4,  8/25/2020

Today Liam and Connor work on building the robot. Liam is always about a step ahead of Mr. Price, (not to brag..) and is doing well. Porter and Meghan work on who knows what? (Connor said it was an attachment). Then we worked on the project. In other news, Liam begins the prototype of a robotics-esque fidget spinner. Stay tuned for the first robotics toy company!

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History, Chapter 5, 8/29/2020

Today is massively successful for team Blue Eyes. The self proclaimed genius, Porter, everyone else agrees he is a genius too, though, makes a drop attachment. Liam makes an insanely complicated loop (Named Mt. Corgi.) And Meghan finished her attachment. Meghan is team Green Machine though. But the success ends here. Connor's wheel breaks, and he loses robotics history. On an equally important note, Porter robs the llama bank and steals all the llamas. Also, Porter becomes Liam's lawyer, and they plan to sue Connor for Robotics History copyright infringement.

Prof. Liam, Robotics history

Robotics History, Chapter 6, 9/1/2020

Today is fun, but not productive AT ALL. Porter is distracted by the threat of Mrs. Putnam calling his mother which is looming over him. They get essentially nothing done today, except Liam synced the robots, and Porter performed brain, heart, liver, and kidney surgery, blindfolded underwater, etc.. But Meghan and Conner aren't exactly productive either.. Getting almost nothing done. Their code is four parallel universes BEHIND them..

Plz hlp mrs Putnam is scary...

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History, Chapter 7, 9/5/2020

Today the productivity and fun are perfectly balanced, as all things should be...(Thanos Quote). Porter proves his genius lies not only in building and comedy - but in programming too, as he completes the bench. Meanwhile, Liam works on the slide, nearly completing it. He also has some ideas on how to do the little block slide thingy. Connor did not do much today according to both him and his father. Meghan mostly worked on her attachment with Mrs. Putnam. But, the best part of today is the butterfly "Toby''. Toby loves both blue eyes and Meghan. "I dunno he kinda liked me I thought'' - Porter. But then in the peace of the meeting ending Connor challenges Porter to a T-rex game-off! Place your bets people! P.S. Porter scored 5068 and Connor scored 1680!

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

(He bet on Connor lol)

Robotics History, Chapter 8, 9/8/2020

Today is productive for Liam, and Connor, but Porter is dubbed "That kid" by Mrs. Putnam... Liam gets the slide done, and Connor gets some epic gear wheel thing done. I don't know what it is. In addition, another dinosaur game off happens, with the champ losing his title in a crazy turn of events! We also work on the project and Porter is brilliant, as always. But Liam's mother is here so he has to go...

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History, Chapter 9, 9/12/2020

Today the team works on the project, and finds out that "Wheel of Fitness" is copyrighted! So now it is "Darts of Fitness!"  But other than that travesty, robotics goes well enough. Connor and Liam work on a temple to deposit. And Liam works on the program a tad. Also Porter works on a logo for Robotics History and the robotics team. It also turns out Meghan doesn't respect Robotics History, as she tells Liam to "Just write it next time." Disgusting. In addition, Connor becomes the back-up writer. And Porter becomes Liam's hitman. And Connor is Liam's publisher.

Prof. Liam, Robotics History. 

Robotics History, Chapter 10, 9/15/2020

Today is prosperous for Liam and Connor. But Porter and Meghan nearly lose their minds working on attachments. Liam completes his missions. Connor works on a gear mechanism for the treadmill. Meanwhile, Blue Eyes develops a foul mouth saying "Go away you ssssstupid idiot!" (Don't ask who made Blue Eyes say that though...). Also Liam completes his program and makes Blue Eyes dance to finish! *Robust dance moves flashbacks* All in all, today is good, but not super productive. It is finished by the team watching a Minecraft video like classy bois.

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History, Chapter 11, 9/19/2020

Today, Liam wraps up his program for good. Connor completes his wheel, and Porter completes his bench thing! In addition, Meghan completes her attachment, too! Today is prosperous for all, but it is also freezing cold. Working with bricks is painful from the low temperature. But also two ancient men come to robotics! Great Great Uncle Uncle Jerry Jerry, and Uncle Connor. Liam acts as caretaker to both, listening to their ramblings about the olden days... Also it turns out a rare brick called "the worm gear" is endangered! Call 1-800-savethewormgear to donate! Or text: Wormgear to 724-789-1234 to donate to conserve the worm gear. And Connor starts a new robotics history called "The Writing Robots'' in a foolish attempt to start a better history company. All in all, today is fun and prosperous. With lots of old people!

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History, Chapter 12, 9/22/2020

Today is moderately prosperous, with mild achievements for Liam and Porter. But Connor does well today, making his wheel attachment smaller. But, Meghan isn't here.  So she doesn't get anything done (duh). Also, following in his brother's footsteps, Porter breaks the temple, Liam rebuilds it bigger and better though. But Porter's childishness is just as big as the temple, with him laughing at the word "But" in robotics history...  Also, Porter sticks lots of stickers on Connor's back, and Connor vowed vengeance... Finally, they work on the project!

Next time: Will Connor get vengeance, Will the bench work? Find out next, on ROBOTICS HISTORY...

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History, Chapter 13, 9/26/2020

Today is snazzy (meaning pending) for Porter, with his attachment getting better. Also, Meghan and Connor are nearing completion on their attachments. Liam works with everyone, as his program is complete. But, aside from the actual robotics, today is super snazzy. Mrs. Putnam brought doughnuts, which were delicious. And today, the toy company finally becomes reality! Llama industries is fully operational! Liam, is the founder and CEO. Porter is head of the board, and vice president. Connor is chief architect, and head of revisions. And Meghan is the visionary, and head of toy production. The first toys to enter the lineup of Llama Industries toys are the fidget fence, Fidget cube, infinite-spin-top, and fidget twister! Also, Connor begins construction on a home for the alpacas, Alpaca Hills! All in all, today is very snazzy and fun!

Prof. Liam, Robotics history

Robotics History, Chapter 14, 9/29/2020

Today the team makes minimal progress, but everyone has a great time! Llama industries does well, with new toys getting put into the lineup, and Meghan making company phones. Also, Liam appoints Porter as Co-CEO, much to Connor and Meghan's dismay.  But aside from the world of toy companies, Liam and Porter get a tad bit of work done on the bench. Meghan and Connor also get a bit of work done. And there is a zoom meeting about the competition that nobody watches except Mrs. Putnam. All in all, today is a good day where the toy industry continues to boom. 

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

(Also CEO and founder.)

Robotics History, Chapter 15, 10/3/2020

Today is a very unique day. At the start Liam and Porter take a 45 minute vow of silence for Chase's Birthday. They get the bench almost complete. In addition, Liam gives Connor the CEO rank, and becomes Connor's advisor. The company was getting too stressful to run, and with running Robotics History too, Liam couldn't handle it. Also, Liam lets Connor write about his day in Robotics History!

-Connor-

Today Connor and Meghan worked on making the attachment and Connor nearly got it done but Meghan nearly got the step counter done too.

          Prof. Liam and Prof. Connor Robotics History.

Robotics History, Chapter 16, 10/6/2020

Today is yet another day of silence. With Porter "jinxing" Liam, so he had to stay silent for a half hour. But then the Uno reverse card saved Liam, as he reversed the jinx to Porter! Also, Connor and Meghan's builds are getting ever closer to completion. Liam and Porter work on the bench more, and their last hurdle is the temple. Llama Industries has a day off today too, because everyone needs a break. I would like to take this time to have a memorial for Porter's leg, arms, and neck, which were all amputated today. RIP Porter's arms, leg, and neck. On an unrelated note, Liam lost his surgeon's license. Lastly, Connor begins Writing Robots again, but this time to offer an alternate view from Robotics History, not as a competitor to Robotics History.

Dr. Liam, Ex-surgeon extraordinaire

Robotics History, Chapter 17, 10/10/2020

Today is vastly bountiful for everyone! Liam and Porter finish their program for the bench :) ! This means that Liam and Porter have completed all their missions! Also, Meghan and Connor's attachment has been perfected, as well as being merged! But, the day was not all happiness... The grand temple was destroyed, in favor of a smaller build (Robotics lighthouse) The temple will live on forever in our hearts though. RIP temple. Also, Liam stresses out about needing to leave a lasting legacy, but will he leave one? Or will his great works of literature, and companies be forgotten, and tossed aside by mentors who want no distractions? It is out of Liam's hands, because "you have no control who lives, who dies, who tells your story." Also, Porter threatens to throw the lighthouse off the hill. Thankfully, Liam talked him down. But he still threw it...

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

Robotics History, Chapter 18, 10/13/2020.

Today is as dreadful as the first day of Robotics History, where no sensors worked. The long building political unrest in Llama Industries finally climaxes, with everyone rage quitting. Also, Connor lays out plans for a rebellion that fails quickly after Liam opts out of it. Also, in a separate document, the interview with former CEO, Connor Price. Look out for that coming to a bookstore near you soon! In the wake of the unrest, a debate is held. The debate mirrors the chaos of Robotics in itself, with Liam and Porter fighting, and Liam being held back by Connor while screaming "Let me at 'im!"(he has always wanted to do that). In the end, Liam emerges victorious, as the president. And Porter, in his fury, resigns from the vice president job. But, the one part of today that is stable is "Chase Day" Where Liam, Porter, Connor, and Meghan all celebrate the legacy of Chase, Liam's partner from last year. Thankfully, even in the wake of the chaos of the debate, and Llama industries, a parade is held in Chase's honor.

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

Robotics History, Chapter 19, 10/17/2020

Today is prosperous, in government and programming. Liam And Porter get their original program perfected! In  addition, Liam creates the code of laws, and appoints members of his cabinet. Also, the political system is going well, not at all corrupted. Also, Team green machine gets lots of work done, too. Today is short, but most of today's discussion will be in the code of laws. 

President Liam, Robotics History.

Robotics History, Chapter 20, 10/24/2020

Today the team works the whole time! Liam gets the bench to work better, and Connor and  Meghan get their attachment to work better, too. But the main event is the team works on a video for the project! Liam wants to make the segment "A minute with Robotics History" But it fails. Also, the democracy gets no work done today. Also, shout out to Porter! Happy Birthday!

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History, Chapter 21, 10/31/2020

Today is a very important day in Robotics, as it is election day! The candidates are Liam, Porter, and Connor! Meghan is the moderator of the debates, and speeches. But, before we get into that, the day started with the team working on their program. (Liam and Porter's program goes back at -25 power for 0.7 rotations, turns at -25 25 for 0.4 rotations, goes forward for 1 rotation, and turns at 25 -25 for 0.5 rotations. Liam had to add this because he accidentally deleted the program...) Then after that, the election is beginning to be held, and everyone agrees Liam will win, until Porter's speech. He show's everyone Liam's "Llama agenda" papers, and tells them he will ruin the democracy, and that they need to elect him. Despite the betrayal, Liam continues to run for president, as he is in too deep now. Now, while he wasn't going to become a dictator, he was planning to remain in office a bit longer for the good of the country. At this dark moment, when Liam and Porter's friendship seems unsalvageable, things get even more tense.The election is held, everyone gets one vote, and Meghan is the tiebreaker. Liam emerges as the victor despite numerous setbacks. Then the team does a scavenger hunt, and Meghan wins. All in all today is the most eventful day since the formation of our government. 

President Liam, Robotics History.

Robotics History, Chapter 22, 11/7/2020

today Liam was not here, so the job of writing robotics history goes down to the co-writer who is Connor. Today we did some board runs for the competition that is next Saturday. It was really successful for team green machine but due to Liam not being here Porter was trying to figure out how the attachment goes on the robot but team blue eyes still got a lot accomplished like got the bench good and got the second run going smoothly. We didn't have time to do the democracy but we still had fun.

Jr. Prof. Connor, Robotics History

Robotics History, Chapter 23, 11/10/2020

Today is disastrous. The acceptance of Robotics History meets its end, with it being banned for the day. Mrs. Putnam claimed that Liam "wouldn't write it at an in person scrimmage", despite the fact he has written it at literally every single scrimmage so far. Also, extreme bias is shown towards Green Machine yet again. This is likely carrying over from Mrs. Putnam's favoritism towards Meghan, where she openly claims she is her favorite. In the end the mentors choose Green Machine as the scrimmage robot, showing that they don't care about Blue Eyes, passing her up again. Liam's theory on why the mentors show a bias towards Green Machine is thus; Liam's creations of Llama Industries, Robotics History, and part of the democracy all go against Mrs.Putnam's goal. Winning. Also, it doesn't hurt team Green Machine that Meghan is Mrs. Putnam's favorite. This in itself is not a good thing, because it isn't beneficial to know Mrs. Putnam won't like any of us as much as Meghan for the sheer fact of our gender. Truly, this bias has gotten to a point of no return, and it will soon erupt in an exciting, but negative way. But, nonetheless, despite numerous acts of favoritism, and attempts to leave team Blue Eyes destitute, Liam and Porter prevail, with a beautiful run in which they miss only two missions. All in all, their highest score is 145, a embarrassingly poor score, but it wouldn't be a competition if everything worked, now would it?

Today we get very little done in the realm of programming. We get lots of project stuff done though, with Mrs. Putnam showing more favoritism towards Meghan. This time she even admits to choosing Meghan's idea because of this senseless favoritism. These disgusting acts of bias towards Meghan have soured the team on Mrs. Putnam. Mrs. Putnam even goes as far as to veto Porter and Liam's best ideas. But, nonetheless, Team Blue Eyes, and to some extent Connor, (but he's on team Green Machine so he has some favoritism towards him) will prevail. The blow to the team's morale is destroying the very foundations of equality we fought for to get Robotics History accepted, are being destroyed once again.

Robotics History, Chapter 25, 11/17/2020

Today is so cold it hurts. literally. The team faces challenges previously unknown to them. Social distancing, colder temperatures, and no blue eyes for the competition! *bum bum bahhhh*  On the bright side, Liam and Porter get attachments to work better after the awful performance on the scrimmage. Finally, they work on a practice run to no avail as Meghan was absent. So trying to make up for it, Liam is Porter, Porter is Liam and Meghan, Connor is Connor, and Meghan was absent! *bu-dum shhh*

Prof. Liam/Porter

Robotics History, Chapter 26, 11/21/2020

Today Porter and Meghan are gone. It seems everyone has been skipping robotics lately... But Liam and  Jr. Prof Connor get a fair amount of work done. Connor works on his program and Liam does as well. Liam is steps away from greatness if he can figure out how to get a line squaring program done. Also, Cap'n Porter's llama treasure from when he robbed the bank is still hidden. This has caused a massive llama shortage. But, all in all, today gets a lot of work done.

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

Robotics History, Chapter 27,11/24/2020

Today Liam and Porter get lots of work done. They also have a dinosaur game tournament at the beginning. And they pull Blue Eyes out of a coma (which Connor put her in). Liam also becomes Professor Chewie, after making a program called "the hyperdrive" because "Hit the hyperdrive Chewie!" Also, Prof. Chewie teaches Porter the way of the code. All in all today is prosperous in more ways than one.

Coronavirus; It was mentioned at the start of the year but since then we have seldom heard it's name mentioned. Now, the final trial between Washington Area Robotics and a successful competition awaits. And, it's name, of course, is Coronavirus. There were four options present for the team, 1. go on as normal, 2. Do a hybrid where one person works and the other is on zoom, 3. go full cyber, and 4. cancel the season. The team went with option two, which makes one person much less productive, as over zoom one can do no more than provide moral support, and some ideas. Also, the team is now divided deeply in a true sense, with separate meetings for team Green Machine, and Blue Eyes. But nonetheless, the spirit of team Blue Eyes prevails once again! Liam gets a moderate amount of work done today, while Porter offers ideas from home. And from what our sources gathered from the short amount of interaction with Connor, he and Meghan were going to work on their program. The Coronavirus has truly turned the team, and Robotics History, into a mere shadow of its former self. With no jokes to write about, every day can now be summed up as "work". But undoubtedly Liam will make up some crazy stuff that didn't happen to entertain his readers! Next week: Liam and Porter's expedition to the Amazon Rainforest.

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

Robotics History, Chapter 29, 12/8/2020

Today "zoomed" by with the first twenty minutes not even being robotics! It was liam waiting for a meeting where the code had changed, so needless to say, it didn't really "zoom" by, but it's a great joke for a content starved document. Anyhow, today is quite pointless, with Liam and Porter working on a program that they don't have enough time to fix. Even worse, Blue Eyes got possessed and began moving around the board on her own without a program being run. So Liam and Porter have to pay for an exorcism, so goodbye Robotics History holiday bonus.... But, next week to remove the spirit from Blue Eyes Liam and Porter travel to Transylvania to seek out an ancient antivirus USB! 

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History, Chapter 30, 12/12/2020

Today is surprisingly bountiful, with a few minor adjustments being made over zoom. And, while this is notable, nothing is worth writing about today, except the thirtieth edition of Robotics History (Volume 2) And of course a celebration of Robotics History is in order for this monumental occasion! The first part of the celebration is the special golden text color, to commemorate the thirtieth edition, and of course a trip down memory lane is the second part! So, without further ado, here are the top 5 Robotics History Milestones!

1. Robotics History is founded. (9/7/2019) - The moment when Robotics History is started, which will forever define a team. 

2. The forbidden history. (11/2/2019) -When Liam and Chase write Robotics History in secret, to defy the mentors order to stop writing it. While it is the moment when Chase officially became a supporter of Robotics History, it is also the act that spurred the rebellion.

3. The program historian award. (Jan, 2020) - Though the exact date isn't known, this is the moment when Liam receives an award signifying acceptance of Robotics History, after it won the team 1st in the core values section of the competition. 

4. Volume Two (8/15/2020) - When Robotics History returns for a sequel that will document another year of success & fun. 

5. The 30th edition of Robotics History in volume 2, showing that the franchise is continuing to grow and prosper, even with COVID-19. 

And that concludes the top five milestones of Robotics History, I hope you enjoyed, and shoutout to all the staff helping make this possible.

-Porter, Editor, Lawyer, Hitman, Surgeon, Vice President, Patriot, etc..

-Connor, Backup writer

-Meghan, the only person who gives honest feedback

-Chase, Ex-Patriot, Ex-Reporter, Ex-Team Blue Eyes Member.

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.  Happy 30th edition! :) 

Robotics History, Chapter 31, 12/15/2020

Today is disastrous to an extent. The mentors once again exercise their absolute power tooppress team Blue Eye's  ideas, in a way that is oppressing them for the mentor's ease. This leaves Liam and Porter powerless to do anything, creating a disastrous effect that will lead everyone down a path of destitution. The  mentors have clearly not learned that if you force ideas on someone's program; or robot,  it will end poorly. In addition to the bad news today, team Green machine is at it again, sabotaging Blue Eyes. And the fact everyone is over Zoom adds to the chaos.

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

Robotics History, Chapter 32, 1/7/2021

After the end-of-year winter break for the staff (which conveniently happened while robotics was boring) Robotics History is back! Though robotics is still painfully boring & socially distant, I couldn't put it off forever. But anyways, today Liam and Porter destroy the dart and make a micro-scale sports stadium, which is used for Porter's favorite sport; peanut butter. Bread & jelly stadiums will be made soon. Then Liam and Porter get in a few runs, but Blue Eyes' wires are getting so old she barely runs anymore. So it's official, Blue Eyes is retiring next year. Also if there are any good robot nursing homes, please inform the staff. But that's it for Robotics History  today, tune in on the 9th for chapter 33!

Pro Peanut-butter player Liam, Robotics History. 

Robotics History, Chapter 33, 1/9/2021

Today It is only Liam,  with nobody over zoom. So Liam got lots of work done, but nothing exciting. He created a custom jig for the bench, added onto the bench attachment, and changed the bench program a bit. But the most notable part of tonight is Blue Eyes' retirement is approaching, as she takes the night off due to her wires not working properly. So Liam has to use... Green machine... But hopefully Blue Eyes can rest knowing she did her job well, even if she is never used again. 

Prof. Liam, Robotics History. 

Robotics History, Chapter 34, 1/12/2021

Today it is just Liam, as Porter was working on Green Machine, but at least this time lots happened! Today, Liam went to Mrs. Putnam's house to work on the project. He answered lots of questions in the video and then also filmed his parts of "H.A.C.K.S.A.W" And, his performance as host earned him three Emmy nominations and a Nobel Prize. He also continues his acting career in a behind the scenes way by making the questions and officially cementing the rules. All in all, tonight was a great night, and remember, "H.A.C.K.S.A.W" is on NBC Saturdays at 8 P.M. Eastern, and 5 P.M. Pacific!

Today is the day, where the whole team will at last be together, to work one more time before the next scrimmage; to at last succeed in transitions, and to finally bring a divided team together again... *Star wars intro plays*  Robotics History, the Snow Day Chapter XXXV . Today, which was supposed to be a great day where everyone worked together, turned out to be a day where everyone is stuck in their homes by snow. But nonetheless, team Blue Eyes prevails! They get lots of work done today, and the bench is almost finished. But, the loss today totals an unbelievable amount. Liam and Porter have lost Blue Eyes officially, with their work being done on... *shudder* Green Machine. Also, there is a rumor going around Mrs. Putnam is retiring from mentoring after this year. And, though we have had our differences, Washington Area Robotics would never be the same with her gone.

Robotics History, Chapter 36, 1/19/2021

At long last, the final trial before the competition. The last scrimmage. Today the stage is set for success, with Liam, Porter, Connor, and Meghan all ready for the scrimmage. They begin the day by practicing transitions, and soon,  it is time for the first run... They score 150. Better than their high-score last scrimmage. The success is already happening! Soon after, the team scores 185, and then, a groundbreaking 190! This achievement celebrates the first step to 200 ® , with only 10 more points needed! Then, at long last, the whole team together can rest, after scoring 180 on their final run. And while Blue Eyes' loss still looms over the team, the beacon of success is shining brighter than ever!

Robotics History,  Chapter 37, 1/23/2021

Today is mostly uneventful, but it is also somehow more eventful than every Zoom meeting combined, too. Liam and Porter both work together in person (Crazy, right?) and get work done on their program. Today, Green Machine's brain malfunctions, and it seems Green Machine is going to have the same fate as Blue Eyes. But, this brings up the question, "Is it possible Green Machine malfunctions enough for Blue Eyes to be the competition robot?" It is very possible, in fact, if Liam and Porter can make a good case for Blue Eyes, AND Green Machine continues to malfunction, it might just be the heroic comeback we all wanted. 

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

Robotics History, Chapter 38, 1/26/2021

Today is... chaotic to say the least. As the competition slowly draws nearer, the team is preparing for the robot design video. Liam and Porter attempt to make programming more efficient with Porter on the mouse, and Liam on the mouse-pad but this ends poorly after they accidentally shut the computer down... But, nonetheless, the team prevails, once again, with the bench being almost finished. The bench was finished before, but because Liam and Porter have to use Green Machine, their program didn't work on Green Machine, so they had to re-work their program. Next Time on Robotics History: Will the team make a cinematic masterpiece for the video, or will the judges want a refund for their tickets? Robotics History: "Lights, Camera, Blue Eyes!" Coming 1/30/2021

Director Liam, Robotics History.

Robotics History, Chapter 39, 1/30/2021

Today, at long last, it has happened. Though Green Machine's tyranny reigned over everyone, Green Machine's excessive use has taken its toll on Green Machine's brain, and Green Machine was unusable from "Robot Flu." As dubbed by doctor Liam, it causes a robot's brain to malfunction, and eventually makes it unusable because it senses the wrong motors. The Robot Flu made Green Machine unusable, and at long last, The Return Of Blue Eyes!! Today, Blue Eyes, freed from her ailment of "Robot Flu", modeled the attachments for the robot design competition, and ran the bench program for the competition video! And, though Blue Eyes might not be the competition robot, things are looking up, and her chances of becoming the competition robot are going up! Other than that though, today Liam and Porter work on the robot design video, and have Blue Eyes model attachments, and run programs to showcase their work. 

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History, Chapter 40, 2/2/2021

Today is very eventful, with parts of the robot design video being made. For the video, one person talks, while the other moves the robot imitating the program. Unfortunately, Liam is very solemn while moving the robot and is knighted "Sir Dead Eyes Liam" So, because Liam didn't want the judges to think he is weird, he went full game show host on announcing the second run. But the most eventful part of today is that Blue Eyes did more modeling! So, while Blue Eyes is going to retire soon, she will go out with a bang!

Sir Dead Eyes Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History, Chapter  41, 2/6/2021

Today the team does more project video!  At first, Liam and Porter work on the robot design video, with Blue Eyes doing more modeling.  And after that, Porter (Aka: "Ned") goes on HACSAW! And, considering it was filmed in front of a live studio audience, it goes well! Mrs. Putnam filmed it, Liam asked the questions, and Connor was the audience! Overall, today goes well, and the team gets lots of video-ing done! Also, be sure to look for the project video, coming to theatres near you 2/20/2021!

Game show host Liam, Robotics History.

Robotics History, Chapter 42, 2/9/2021

Today the team works on more videoing! Liam & Porter film the segment  "30 seconds with Blue Eyes" for the robot design video. The title of the segment is named for the fact the time limit for it was 30 seconds. Then Liam does some voice-overs, and he and Porter watch the pre-release project video! Connor and Meghan also did some filming and robot design, too! Liam and Porter come to view their robot design video and end up being kicked out of the filming room for being too disruptive funny, but it was worth it. 

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

Robotics History,  Chapter 43, 2/13/2021

Today the team works on filming more for the robot design. But, sadly, today isn't an upbeat happy day. Today team Blue Eyes and Green Machine quarrel a LOT. Mostly disagreements over the running joke of Blue Eyes being better, but some over Green Machine failing to connect to bluetooth. But, the team does come together to make an intro to their video where they introduce everyone, in an, as usual, super hilarious fashion. Overall, today is nothing more that a stepping stone on the path to the competition, with nothing interesting happening, except Liam and Porter banging their heads against a wall in frustration...

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

Robotics History, Chapter 44, 2/16/2021

Today is the last meeting before the competition, and, the last of the final 3 meetings. This means, Robotics History, Book 2, will have a total count of 45 (forty-five) chapters total! But enough with that, because the time for reflection on the season will come on another day! Today the team works on practice runs, and they do well, despite the strict no talking, socializing, interacting, conversing, mingling, hobnobbing, entertaining, meeting, mixing, hanging out, getting together, associating, OR chilling together rules. This is due to the mentors wanting no distractions, but in reality it just made the team want to talk more. With the competition coming up though, it was time for the massively controversial "Robot Memory Wipe" that removes all programs on the competition robot so they aren't cluttered, but this means that Green Machine is no longer an enemy, it's just a normal robot now. Other than that though, the runs go well, and it turns out that a perfect run will end up with a score of 315 points! Now, while this is very highly unlikely, it is a nice goal. But, it wouldn't be Robotics History without calamity! Today the Robot Flu has mutated into a new form which ails Green Machine,  making its wheels spin opposite directions. For more information on this infectious new robot disease please visit robotflu2.gov.roboticshistory. Overall the practice runs went well, and the team is more ready than ever for the competition! 

Prof. Liam, Robotics History

Robotics History, Chapter 45, Part 1,  2/20/2021

Today, the competition is here. It is what every tweak, every run, and every idea so far has led up to. So, because of all the events,  this chapter will be a two part chapter. Part one is the actual competition day, and part two is the awards ceremony.  But now, it is time for the competition. *Slow heavy metal music plays*The team begins the day with multiple test runs to ensure everything works. And before they know it, it is already time for the competition to start! Their first run is okay,  scoring in the mid two hundreds. Then on their second run they scored 280, thanks to Porter's keen sense of gamesmanship. And after that in the third run, Porter once again proves why he is the MVP (Most Valuable Porter) after Liam forgets to put the stadium on. They take one last run, but nothing notable happens. And soon, the competition is over. The team finishes by watching a special screening of the project video. Liam also has to fire Connor as his publisher, because, obviously this is already published, and Liam didn't want to ruin the surprise. All in all, though, the team did well, but, did they do well enough to earn awards? 

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

Robotics History,  Chapter 45, Part 2,  2/21/2021

The true last issue of Robotics History, Book 2. Today the team will tune in to a livestream of the awards, and though they are apart, they will win, together. Today the team wins second place in core values! They would've won first, but since they did last year the judges didn't want to seem biased by letting them win first place two times in a row (don't fact check that). The speech given about the award also mentions Robotics History, and the "robotics merch" joke. Overall, though they didn't get first, they all know they are officially a top team in core values.  And now, Blue Eyes, Green Machine, and the team themselves, can rest, knowing they did their job well. But most of all, Mrs. Putnam can leave robotics, knowing her team did well. 

Prof. Liam, Robotics History.

Epilogue

The Oxford dictionary defines a season thusly;

sea·son

/ˈsēzən/

noun

1. 1 .
   each of the four divisions of the year (spring, summer, autumn, and winter) marked by particular weather patterns and daylight hours, resulting from the earth's changing position with regard to the sun. 

This is completely irrelevant, and the wrong type of season, but it makes for an epic opening to the epilogue. Yet another year of robotics, and Robotics History gone by. This won't be a season we'll forget, partly because of laughs and fun, and part because of tragedy and loss. While I could go on about the tragedies of this season, and year, I won't because Robotics History isn't a deep philosophical  book, it's a silly, fun, occasionally reflective book. Right now is a reflective moment, and there is a lot to reflect on this year. I'll spare the details and say that it was a "year like no other." But, while some treasures are coveted for their rarity, such as trophies, or medals, or even plaques, the real treasure of robotics, is the friendships we made along the way (jk lol it's the llamas).

Robotics History, Book 3

Prologue

The team* is back at it again! For the last book of Robotics history, it's go big or (car) gohome! With obstacles like a new coding interface, robot, and only three team members, the team seems destined to fail. Can they succeed and even (cargo) connect during Liam's last season? Or will it all break apart? Find out in "Robotics History 3; the last history"! 

(* Meghan left lol)

Robotics History Chapter 1, 8/7/2021

Today Liam and Porter begin experimenting with the new coding interface. They spend time composing "Ode to Blue Eyes" and they also make the screen spell out "Blue Eyes". Needless to say, Liam and Porter have already mastered the new coding app. Meanwhile, Connor works on the robot, doing less important, but still necessary work. Overall, the team gets lots of work done today, but troubling times lie ahead, with a whole new robot needing to be constructed...
