tough choices

The hardest choice you have to make is what to have for lunch.

One thing we sometimes forget is no matter how hard your day is, no matter how tough your choices, no matter how complex your decisions....

You always get to choose what you want for lunch.



It's either live or die.

oh tina (2)

Presenting our machine....

TINA-THE-TURNER And Her Bunsen Burner.





Originally wanted to print the name and add it to the top of the machine but the response is lukewarm to say the least. No one appreciates. Internal joke anyway as good as the name sounds.


The group. Super suay to be picked as the first team to compete on the day. But our super fast time-out sure caused a stir... hahaha...

Ren zai jiang hu sheng bu you ji.




Tough. But fulfilling to a certain extent.


And here's a video taken during our final testing stage. I think someone took a video on competition day but I don't have it with me so make do with this.

For those who are so free to be able to spare some time.






Ah... almost forgot. Congrats to Hongkai and Shaun's group for winning. Impressive. Go get Ali to salute with two hands and two legs.


Did our presentation yesterday and handed in the reports as well. So..

IT'S FINALLY OVER!!

oh tina

Yeah.

Competition is over. ME3102 is almost over. A report and a presentation to go next week.

This is our robot:


It's supposed to be its name lah but not everyone very excited about it. Sigh. Inspired by Brainiacs. Cool right.
Managed only 3 blocks in 3 minutes in the end as the motors started cocking up at the very last minute (or seconds literally). Heart almost stopped. But managed to troubleshoot in the end. If only we had 10 more seconds we will have picked up 6 blocks instead. But all in all a job well done. Not the worst it seems. Should be average lah. Just don't get a C can already.
But i think we really learnt a lot. But still too much work for a 4MC module.
Thanks to hanting and gang for support. Thanks to all.
Robot almost didn't make it at all. Murphy's Law.
Time to sleep. Sleep.
