Throughout this semester I think I have truly shown how unexperienced with technology I am, therefore any chance to not have to do something i will take. That beung said, i decided to take the assessment grade rather than do the actual robotics project.
So, I have to talk about something I would have done if I did actually do the project, which is cool cause I like talking. However, being that I don’t even understand what a Pi actually is, its gonna take a lot of research to find out what and how to make something usable with the Pi. Therefore my research began with this wonderful google search.
Being the lazy college student I am, I clicked the video that was less than two minutes long first. Not gonna lie, the video sucked, but he had a full how to guide in the description that I clicked on.

So this article goes into a bunch of detail on how to make this work, and I feel like if I was actually doing this project then this is what I would do. I know my dad likes playing old games so I would probably give it to him when I was done, but knowing him he wouldn’t ever use it cause in the end he’d much rather watch hockey.
I have everything on this list that he said I would need, except the controller, but I found a cool one on amazon.
He then goes into details on how to set everything up, and I’m not gonna lie I didn’t really read them cause I’m not actually doing it but they seem pretty easy.
The last step was to move any ROM’s of games that I already have, which I dont, so I didn’t add that in.
But yeah, thats what I would have done if I had to actually do this project, but thankfully I do not.
