LEGO robot
hari sabtu abg balik dr kelas pukul 5 petang dgn membawa sekotak besar set LEGO... terkejut nonie! abg ngan muka selamba kata dia nampak kat display kedai tadi... macam best jer tgk so dia pun beli... nonie tau mmg hobi dia bina2 model macam kapal terbang dll... tapi tak sangka dia nak beli sampai kotak besar camtu... nonie tanya harga dia berapa, dia sengih & jawab AUD400... whoa! RM seribu lebih utk mainan camtu! biar benar abg nie?!
at this point of time we are not suppose to spend unnecessarily... biasalakan, kami nie student2 yg sengkek yg byk tanggungjawab... so, kat sini sebnarnya toklehla nak shopping2 sesuka hati... kena budget2 sket... dlm hati... how could he? nonie yg pi groceries pagi tu nampak set pinggan mangkuk cantik correll yg berkenan di hati pun dok usya jer... nak kena tunggu timing baik punya baru la nak beli... tu pun kalau beli...
abg dah sengih2 nengok muka nonie yg senyum kelat sambil telan air liur dgr harga mainan tu tadi... last2 dia kat dia gurau jerla... bende tu lecturer yg suruh bawak balik utk project... ceh hampeh abg! nonie dah agak dah, tapi yerla kan kita kan agak lurus sket... :P
i think the last time i played with a lego set was like 10-15 years ago agaknya... ntah2 kan lebih... tingat zaman tu abah belikan set LEGO yg besar2 tu.. memang leka main dia, bina2 macam2 & main baling2 ngan adik2 bila bergaduh heheh... pastu last2 abah ngan mak yg tension balik sbb selalu terpijak blok LEGO kat dlm umah hehe... over the years LEGO keluar kan set2 dgn blok yg makin kecik & model2 yg menarik, boleh buat castle la, kapal terbang la, macam2 la up to ur imagination.. i didn't owned one of this set as abah dah takmo terpijak LEGO lagi agaknya... tapi i did played them with my cousins & neighbours who have them.... mmg kewl la!
& now, the set that my hubby brought home is even cooler... blok dia kecik2 gak, tapi lagi byk bentuk, ada bulat ada screw, ada stopper, tayar bagai la! & plus it has motors, sensors & its own brain! download program dia kat computer... buat bentuk2 yg kita suka.. walla! boleh jalan2 sendiri ikut arahan computer! how cool is that!
so, apa lagi... sepanjang weekends abg dok leka mengadap bende tu la... & i have to be very careful to walk accross the room so not to step on any of the parts... takut ilang ke, pecah ke, tak pasal kena ganti... dahla sakit kaki, sakit poket lagi... nonie sendiri tak kuasa nak join him sbb byk giler assignment nak buat... but last night, sbb jaki tgk abg leka sgt, sampai kenkadang panggil pun tak dgr, so i decided to join him... heh dah lama nie tak jadik kanak2 main lego... so both of us built a robot...
comey tak!
in action
dah siap pasang parts dia buat programming kat PC plak... menarik! interface cantik, program pun agak senangla... pakai logik cam programming lain, tapi drag & drop jer commands dia dari toolbar... cool! nonie yg tak suka programming nie pun teruja tgk interface dia... heh kalau interface C++ yg nonie blaja dulu menarik camnie sure nonie minat giler blaja programming... haha konon...
hmmm i was thinking to buy one for my lil bro... tapi nantila kot, bila dah kaya sket... boleh beli pinggan mangkuk skali huhuh....
