since January, we've been going nuts about the major project. We've started from scratch, the problem, the inception of the idea, the design, the development, the testing and the final fabrication....
all these steps have gone more or less smoothly (with the first development part taking much time, which anyways, will). our bloddy out-of-the-world stealth robo has worked everytime with no exception what so ever....
we've worked hard in all the cycles with decisions all the way and the baby has grown up quite well.
till 2nd may 2 AM
bloddy 2nd may ... our fabrication was over week ago and only assembly of the robo and aesthetics remained for 1 week (imagine the consistency at which we've worked for 3 months .. i'll not go into the details bout it, but it was very consistent) just when aesthetic look's last step (putting up a start button on the bot rather than manual soldered wires) at 2 made a mess out of everything .. (those buggers which think a connection had gone awry, its not that cause we'd glue-gunned every possible wire to avoid any kind of mishap.. but still it just stopped .. like 'bhoot' coming in the circuit)
i planned to sleep at 2 while my friends were busy working damn hard. i wake up at 4 30 to read the most disastrous note by them (they slept at 3 30). bot aint working ... and our evaluation for the major project is at 8 ...
desperation time, we've done everything and actually made 'something' work by 8 15 in the morning.. we've setup everything just in the nick of time but the problem is that we havent got that much time to show them a demo at 8 40 of our robot..
we've lost... but we work hard .. over our stall and the blodddy robot is alive !!!!!!!!!!
F*** the examiners, our project is liked by teachers and its an impressive thing... ... (though the alive robot has lots of technical snags, but atleast a demo was shown and liked by all)
we've lost yes .. but atleast we've given all that we're worth off .... the best bunch of hardworkin guys ... hats off to my friends seriouslly ....
we've lost .. yes .. won 2 hearts atleast (1 of rihani who said they're my students , and the other an entrepreneur who likes our work .....esp. the code.. )
in all the last night desperation, i forgot to tell that i got no time to change my clothes (i was presenting everyone in capris - night dress), to brush (imagine the smell comin of my mouth) to do all the normal guy does .. .i got 3 hours of sleep on may 2, but that was the 'baddest' sleep of my 4 years...
call it a 'bhoot' which came into our bot to prevent it work for like 10 hours, or wateva .. but all's well that ends well ...
o .. we've lost, but i won a race on my way back home on my yamaha.. guess whom the race was against ? ?
a BMW .. (n believe me it was at break-neck acceleration from 0 to 80)..
