To all electronic, robotic or PIC micro controller geeks out there, if you are reading this, I need a favor from you.
I realized that there are many community and forum out there that discuss on D.I.Y. electronic and embedded system projects. Yet, some students and hobbyists still find it quite hard to get what they want to be done, or maybe something that can really satisfy their needs.
If you are one of them, here’s a favor I need from you. If there is such a blog or forum out there doing discussion on such topics, I mean topics on any projects involving PIC micro controller, what would you expect from it? I mean how would you like a blog like that to exist in order to help you in whatever PIC micro controller projects you are working on, be it for competition, for final year project, for fun, or for whatever reason you want it to be.
For those who are interested, kindly let me know how you think bout this idea by posting it in my comment box.
The atmosphere was tensed at the game field. The three uncompleted pyramids stood still as 55 teams were struggling to conquer each of them.
History has repeated itself since year 2007, where the final match was conquered by both UTM Teams. After four days of long battle, the champion was then decided when the organizer finally announced, “JUARA BAGI PERTANDINGAN ROBOCON MALAYSIA 2010 DIMENANGI OLEH PASUKAN UTM B !!!”
It was a long and tough journey. Days were never satisfying after we were dethroned 3 years ago. There’s a saying that goes, “The higher you climb, the harder you fall”.
Yet, we knew that it’s part of our life process. There’s nothing that goes up but never comes down. What matter is how resilient are we after the 2 years of defeat and how to get ourselves standing up again after the fall.
It was also the pain of defeat and the desire to fight back that brought us here today. Running with our victory flag around the game field, standing on this stage, waving our team’s banner, and proudly proclaim, “WE ARE THE CHAMPION ONCE AGAIN !!!”
Much tears and sacrifice has been made, but all that was out weighted by the cry of victory and the joy we shared on the stage. It was not simply the victory of individual, but a great victory for the whole team and the university, especially our team manager.
Yet, the champion title is not the only thing we brought back from the competition. This year, all three teams did not come back empty handed, as each of them was awarded something valuable from the game.
Champion : UTM Team B
1st Runner Up : UTM Team A
Best Technology Award : UTM Team C
RTM Special Award : UTM Team B
There are still a few weeks left before the international game, which will be held at Cairo, Egypt. Despite the victory, we knew that there is still much for us to improve, to modify and repair before we are ready to face the bigger challenge ahead, to stand side by side with the best teams from other countries.
Though I may not be able to join you guys at Egypt, my heart and support will never leave the team.
ALL THE VERY BEST TO UTM ROBOCON TEAM IN THE ROBOCON INTERNATIONAL GAME 2010.
The last time I had such an outing was… err, I can’t remember, coz’ that’s probably centuries ago. The main reason was, well… I was too busy with… err, ok la don’t bother to explain, later you guys say I “doh doh lan yeh“… haha.
This time, our getaway’s Fraser’s Hill.
Queuing at the entrance gate
Mini Twin Tower…?
Chatting and “water-blowing”
If you are the type that prefers “happening” occasion, then all I can say is this is definitely not a good destination for you. Visitors here are mostly those who wish to get rid of their hectic life and desire relaxation through natural tranquility and serenity.
For those who are planning for a gathering, BBQ or steamboat dinner, this is probably one of the choices you may want to consider.
Dinner time
Steamboat
Upon back to KL, we proceeded with a simple celebration. Again, someone’s getting old.
Vincent’s “Old-One-Year Token“
The macho man’s cutting the cake…
… someone’s drooling…
… and someone with an itchy hand
Though it was just a weekend getaway, much preparation has been made, not to mention the difficulty to gather everyone (special thanks to the organizer(s)). It doesn’t matter who and where we are, but the opportunity of being together, the moment that we shared together, that’s irreplaceable…
Time flies, and once again Robocon 2010 is here! This year, Malaysia Robocon domestic competition will be held at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia from 22nd to 27th June 2010. The theme is “Robo-Pharaohs Build Pyramids“, in conjunction with the myth and history of the international game hosting country, Egypt.
For those of you who have no idea what’s Robocon, it’s an annual robotic competition where teams from different institutes of higher learning construct robots to complete certain tasks, and the team who manage to complete the tasks in the shortest time and scores the highest point wins the game.
This year, there will be 55 teams competing in Malaysia Domestic Game. The champion team will be representing Malaysia to the international game at Egypt.
Nothing much to update lately, guess life at home is just not as happening as uni’s.
Just wanna ask you guys, do I look like a soft person…? (nah, not those gay type la…)
The reason I’m asking this is because I’ve been having problem with maids lately:
1) Back to grandma’s house, and the maid kept complaining things to me.
2) Went to uncle’s house, same thing happened.
3) This morning my ex-neighbor, who’s also working as a part time maid, also did the same thing.
I mean, if they have problem, shouldn’t it be more appropriate to confront the source of problem, instead of getting me into their problem? Am I some sort of “cushion”?
I do respect every single person around me, no matter what status they’re having, but does that mean that they can just manipulate me for their own advantage?
Well, I guess I’m just not the type who can hire maid to work for me in future… haha.
