I saw Sammy making an RC boat and I decided, why don't I do that? So I got one of my RC cars and hacked away. Eventually, I got everything apart. Then I had to wait until mom and dad went to town so they could get some epoxy. Next I pulled a 3-D file off the internet and printed it. Once it was done, I faced another problem. The batteries and the receiver were so heavy that it could barely float, so I had to put foam on the bottom of it and put wings on it. I put it in water and it worked fine until the motors quit. Unfortunately, I didn't video it. : ( The motors still didn't work so I took them off and now I have a nice toy boat. : ) I plan to make a new one except this time without brushed motors.
(The reason the motors quit was because they were brushed.)

For Christmas us boys got a triops growing kit. So when we got home we put the eggs in water, put that under a heat lamp, and within 1 day several little bitty triops hatched out. They were about the size of this period. Then in around 3 days hundreds of tiny triops hatched out! But then the bigger triops ate all of the other smaller one. So we separated the big one and the smaller one, so we had two. But the big one died so we ended up having three triops in the other tank that were too big to eat each other. They were a lot of fun but after a while the jar got really dirty and two of the triops died. I thought the other one was dead too, but when I went to dump the jar out I saw it swimming around! I transferred him to a new tank that was clean. He was more enjoyable when his tank was clean (and bigger). But after a while he died too :( I liked raising triops and I would do it again!
