Air Hockey Playing Robot!     The system uses a computer vision to see where the pucks is, send it back to the other player, and even sets up shots when it loses. It was created by Jose Julio and he got the idea from his daughter always wanting someone to play air hockey with. He used a 3D printer hack that allows you to play a robot in a fun new way of playing the game of air hockey.

This is the new crazy way to help referees determine goals at the 2014 World Cup. 
The Goal Line Technology used 14 cameras to track the ball as it passes the goal line. 
This system shows the ball's position in 3D to within a few millimeters.
If the ball crosses the goal line, the system sends a signal to the referee's watch in less than a second.  

One of the classes that I am taking this year is biology. In the beginning of the year we had Ms. Pielch, now we have Mrs. Sistarnik. We were expected to learn about the study of life, and what goes on in cells everyday. The teacher grades the same as any other teacher. We don't get a lot of homework but the projects are fun. We use the overhead projector and the teacher's computer to copy down our notes. Even though we have a hard teacher, she helps me and my classmates a lot.
