Introduction to Robotics, Friday

"Hey," Kaidan greeted the class, "This is gonna be your last class-- and probably mine." Alliance command willing. Wasn't that he disliked this place, but there was probably something more useful he could be doing. "So let's make something of it. I want to see your projects-- everything you've been working on these past few weeks. Did they turn out the way you wanted? If they didn't, why not?"

He crossed his arms. "Oh, and we're going to put them through something of an obstacle course," he added, looking lightly amused. "If it doesn't work... you have my permission to roll it."

They were teenagers. They'd appreciate that, he was pretty sure.

Thomasina was frowning at her drone, shaking her head softly.

"Mine is... incomplete," she admitted, though each word had to be dragged past a tongue that wished to refuse them. She didn't like failing. "I have been able to program it for movement, but I appear to have made an error while modifying the code for processing input."

It was rather roughly put together, too, although -- despite a lack of references that even the least technically-inclined of her classmates would have, by virtue of having been born later -- she'd done fairly well for herself, mentally taking apart the blueprints and schematics until they made sense to her. There was just too much for her to learn in too short a time when you started as far back as she did.
