Everyone,
I'll be at the museum most Wednesdays from now on, in addition to many
weekends. This is due to a (positive!) change in my work.
I went today and it was busy. Steady stream of families all afternoon.
Most of them took full tours, asked good questions, and had children who
were smart + well-behaved. Jeff B. stopped by to work on something and
at one point he took a tour group around because I was busy with another
family.
After public hours ended, I fixed the Lego robot. It had two problems --
1. the top forklift sensor was being flaky and saturating it in alcohol
hadn't helped, so I replaced it; 2. One set of treads kept failing to
move, which I thought meant performing robot surgery :) to replace that
side's motor, but I figured out that what actually happened was a drive
gear had slipped to the side and wasn't sufficiently contacting its
pinion -- so I moved it back into place and inserted a spacer that will
prevent it from sliding again, and did the same on the opposite side as
preventative maintenance. Robot fixed!
