engineering week

Friday, February 23, 2007

It was engineering week! There were lots of erm, engineering activities the whole week. We had online quizzes which we took part in and jy won a $25 gift credit card and I didn't win anything. There were also many high school students in the facility, doing programming projects and all. It was cool. It ended on Friday with the finals of an automation 'high wire' challenge. The teams had to create a erm, robot? that could move along a wire and hit certain targets along the way. It was also supposed to be able to jump to another perpendicular wire after some time, proceed and come back, and jump back to the first wire.

One word for these engineers. Respect.

see that thing whizzing by? and the white shadow in the middle on top of the box, are the ping pong balls that the er, thing dropped!! It managed to drop them right into the box, and yet travel towards the end of the wire at such top speed!

everyone from the office came here to have a look..


this guy damn pro, even had his assistant wear his gloves for him. lol.
