I spent Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, building the robot.  I am now done with my part of it.  On Wednesday I took apart some of the old parts and rebuilt them.  On Thursday and Friday I followed CAD drawings and built some new parts.  I am now done with that and they will put all the parts together on the robot and program it.  This will take a while for them to do, but when they get it done, they will have me come back and test the robot.  I put some pictures up of it.  I enjoyed this work, I am looking forward to see what they have for me next. 

I will be doing a company tour on Monday and should be starting some design work on Tatung's rice cooker after that.  Other then work I have been just hanging out with some people.  I went and played pool with some guys from the virtual reality (VR) lab.  They were good and they taught me another game to play, called 41.  I have also been watching some soccer.  I start my ISU class on Monday.  The class is Thermodynamics II.  My green energy class starts the first of July and will be for about a month.

    Fun Fact!!!!!!!!
    (I will try and update this often.)

    1.
    In Taiwan they don't normally drink anything with their meal because they always have rice.  They say the rice will fill up with the moisture and make their stomach hurt.  Many restaurants don't have anything for you to drink.  After you eat, you find a near by tea shop and get something there.

    2.
    There is a separate lane for mopeders because there are so many here.
    3.
    Kleenexs are used as facial tissues, napkins, paper towels, and toilet paper!

    4.
    You can count to 9 on one hand in Taiwan.

    5.
    You shouldn't place your chop sticks in your food.  It is correct to set them on top of your bowl.  Sticking them in the bowl represents incense in ashes, which is done in temples.
