Today I plan to record the walkthrough for Minecraft: Learning the Ropes and propagate its associated wiki page. After completing that lesson, I plan to present to Dr. Wiecking to update him on progress and start a dialogue to improve the lessons. After that, I will continue work on the Robotics Class Remote Controller application. This application allows control of a robot over serial communication via a java GUI. There are multiple benefits to such an application, for control of the robots will no longer delimited to single line commands, but rather a flexible and real-time environment to control their various bots. I hope to complete this application by tomorrow afternoon or next week in preparation for the robotics class.

I have successfully completed the first lesson of the Educational Minecraft Sereies, "Minecraft: Learning the Ropes". I have both created the world associated with this lesson, propagated the corresponding Wiki information, and recorded a walkthrough of the lesson. I am still brainstorming as to where I am going to put all of this, and I endeavor to speak to Dr. Bill about setting up a course Wiki devoted to this curriculum.

I was also able start work again on the Arduino Remote Control Application I am building for the Robotics Class. I have created a GUI and am beginning on the communication protocol and specific functions of the remote.
