what a day

finally the warman project is over. the outcome is very discouraging. we got 1.25 points out of 10. the first run was super slow because we mixed up the fresh and drained batteries. our robots can only able to go to the bumps not even crossing it. the second run was a disastrous one. our robot starts turning right instead of going straight at the very beginning of the track. and it fell off the track. we got disqualified for the second run. i personally think that the project is quite impossible for us to do because we are only in second year and we are MECHANICAL student. this project require damn a lot of electronic parts.

for you reading this but don't know what we are doing, this is the track that our robot must go through. first the robot must go through the bumps, then make a turn to the next lane and go through the colourful balls then either doing a u-turn or turn to the previous lane to go through the bumps again to climb up the incline and drop the tennis ball which is carried by the robots since the it starts on the top corner of the incline. to gain full marks , all these must be done within 30 seconds. suck right?
anyway, this is how my robot looks like. i think we go no aesthetic mark on it. LOL

i think this the project which monash purposely include on our assignment just to demoralize us so that we will fail on the subject and retake again next sem. FYI, retaking a subject in monash will cost you another 4k.

so after the run, me kane and stanley decide to play COD4 to kind of lepas geram on it. we barely play any COD the past week 'cause we were working on this stupid-shitty-got-only-a-freaking-1.25-points robot everyday until 8-9pm. so yeah, we played 5 hr in the cc. but too bad there weren't many players on that day. so can't really enjoy it.

after that more stressful thing happened as Man United lost 2-1 to home ground bravery Chelsea which see them erm 81 matches unbeaten in Stamford Bridge? haihzz, not going to talk more about it, it's even more depressing than losing to arsenal. i rather lose to arsenal than losing to avram grant's chelsea. chelsea without mourinho is not worth respecting.

but after that, the monash street carnival get me alive again. 'cause they actually got some cool local bands performing there. Bus Company band, Ben's Bitches and the awesome DRAGON RED. holy cow, they were very very awesome. finally i get to see a band performing SYSTEM OF A DOWN song on public. they were like: "the next song is about toxic, not britney spears one. anyone of you guys like SYSTEM OF A DOWN?!!?!?" the crowd goes :" YEAH!!! TOXICITY!!!!"
wow! i was impressed! toxicity can be listed in my top 20 songs in my playlist weih. everyone was enjoying it. i think they were enjoying performing this song also.

anyway, it has been quite a day for me. from depressing robot test, to even depressing Man Utd lost then to a super high live DRAGON RED performance.
