Singapore Robotic Games (SRG) is an annual robotic contest organized by various institutes of higher learning at Singapore to cultivate knowledge sharing as well as corporation among youngsters of the new age.

This year, the game was held on 26 January 2010 for 3 days. I’ve been there last year, but unfortunately failed to do so this year due to my presentation. So instead, I sent my “spies” to scout…

From my 2 years of observation, SRG standard is clearly higher compared to any of the robotic games in our country, which make it worth while to spend a day traveling there to watch the game.

As a robotic enthusiast, one of the thing I like about Singapore is that there are heap of resources available in order to build an amazing robot. The corporation among students from different institutes of higher learning can expand the knowledge sharing process better than any mean, inspiring creative minds in the country. And of course, if you’re gonna say engineering and robotic technologies are only for boys or geeks… YOU ARE DEFINITELY WRONG! Because this lead to the 2nd reason why I like SRG…

I bet we can hardly have any chance here…

An interesting riddle I got from a friend today… What is the hardest thing to break?

Diamond? No… It’s hard to find but easy to break.

Promise? Definitely no, I bet none of us have never broken any promise before.

It’s none other than HABIT !

Analysis:

If you break the “H”, you will have “A BIT”…

If you break the “A”, you will still have “BIT”…

If you break the “B”, you will definitely have “IT”…

And if you continue breaking the “T”, you will have “I”…

Nothing can change ourselves more than a single alphabet… the 9th.

After many trials and attempt, I finally admit that it’s not working.

All these while I’ve been doing many things by trial and error without first calculating them properly. At first, I thought the problem was the driver and the current is not enough. But after trying with some of my friends working circuit, I got the same response.

It is a little bit too late to realize this problem. 10 weeks left before the presentation and I have much to be done. Some of my friends have even completed their projects, which gave me even more pressure. I gotta admit today I was quite disappointed at myself.

But luckily, thanks for your words…

“不要气馁”

I shall work harder.
