Skids

that would be on top of the base. When I arrived there they were arguing about how to make the base what shape and measurements to be used. I then joined their conversation and suggested why not use the thicker wood and cut it in the shape of a square and have the wheels attached to the back and make 2 skids on the front so it can help move over the 2x4 wood to get through the tunnels. One person didn’t think my idea would work so I tried reasoning with him on why it would. The skids would help by having now motors to power and putting less weight on the robot thus using less power to operate it. He still didn’t see what I was trying to explain so I then brought over the Club President and told him about my idea. He thought it was a great idea, but the other person still didn’t see why so both of us started to reason with him and showing how it would work. After many tries he finally saw how it would work it took time, but worth it at the end for my idea to be used. They then obtained the wood and started to cut out the base, I was in charge of making the skids while they were cutting out the base. I then grabbed the PVC pipe and cut then in half to make the bottom of the skids and another PVC pipe on top of it to attach it to the bottom of the base. Around this time is was already time to leave I didn’t know if I was still wanted on the team I screwed up on 2 stations but helped out on the last. So I decided to talk to the officers in private and tell them I was sorry for…

Skid row Skid Row refers to an impoverished urban area in a city, mainly occupied by the poor and homeless (Wiki 1). Skid Row is in Downtown Los Angeles, it is a large area, around 54-blocks and contains one of the most large and stable homeless populations in the United States (Wiki 1). Skid Row was not always like this until the late 1800s, it was a place of agriculture (Wiki 1). In my essay I will discuss the history about Skid Row in Los Angeles and the how it is now. In the article History…

Skid My heart suddenly started racing when I watched the driver in front of us drive off of the hill, into the tree, and then in the creek. It felt unreal, as if I were in a movie. Then I knew just one of many consequences of drunk driving, your own life. My six year old brother was freaking out and was completely clueless of what was going on. My dad couldn’t believe it either. Without thinking twice, he parked to the side of the road and jumped into the creek to save him before going away…

Christopher Hauch’s original study, “Reciprocity on Skid Row” implements an understanding of the economic and behavioural systems of the community, skid row, in Winnipeg. During Hauch’s several years of ethnographic research of skid row, his studies conclude that there are similarities between the lives of people in skid row and those apart of the well-known community, the Ju/’hoansi. Although each society is a part of a different environment, skid row being urban and Ju/’hoansi being rural, it…

A skid steer loader is a versatile machine, and a must have for anyone in landscaping, large-scale construction, farming, or logging. It has a rigid frame and lift arms you can attach various tools and skid steer loader attachments to. Loaders may be track-equipped or four-wheel drive. The drive system of the loader has no transmission. Instead, it uses pumps and hydraulic motors to power the wheels or tracks. Wheels can drive independently of each other, which makes them very maneuverable.…

Suzan Ramirez Skid Row Reflection In discussing skid row I felt like I was looking at things from two different perspectives. I felt as if I was two different people viewing one thing and reacting differently. There is this idea of double consciousness and I never understood what that felt like, but on this trip I felt that. It felt like I was viewing it from the perspective of my peers but then I was viewing things from the perspective of what I know. I will be talking about not only what…

Christopher Hauch explores the culture surrounding Skid Row in Winnipeg and he discovers that the economy that has formed among the habitants of Skid Row was very similar to that of foraging groups, such as the Ju/’hoansi. Among Skid Row and other foraging societies, both the Ju/’hoansi and the residents of Skid Row share the characteristics of generalized reciprocation, although some of the functions of the exchanges differ; and they also share similar environments in which they survive.…

Aids range from state-level urban development projects to every-day changes people contribute to the street people.

Over the years Los Angeles has had the highest concentration of homeless people; this situation has been highly overlooked by media and political attention. Cities in many parts of the world may be known as centers for poverty, even in developed and developing countries. Los Angeles in particular is an entry point for many immigrants. This causes there to be a vulnerability to poverty. “Skid Row homeless population originates in South LA – where services and shelters lack resource adequacy and…
