This week was an extremely busy week due to training for the robotics competition yesterday. The training took place at Temasek Poly. There, I practiced my robot to run the F1 track to complete 1 round. It was unsuccessful at first but i never gave up. I keep changing the program after every failure and eventually i managed to make the robot complete 1 round. The day of the competition, which was yesterday, there were many participants in the competition. It was held at Funan Mall. Waited till 4pm because the first few were the secondary schools category. While waiting I went to the LAN shop and happened to see a great PC game called Granado Espada, which i think is super great due to the trailers the owner showed me. I then grabbed 1 CD and its free.
I then walked around the mall and stopped by every game shop I see and look-look at the games. When it was nearly 4, I then get ready to standby when my turn is near. When my turn is up, I then run the robot. The first and second run was unsuccessful but the third was a miracle. The timing was 44 seconds but I didnt make it into the finals due to other teams having faster timing than me. I was disappointed that i lost, even though I did my best. But im alright after that after the class BBQ which i went after that. The BBQ was held at Kenji's condo at Harbourfront. It lasted till 11 plus. During these 2 events, made alliances with new allies. Went back home all right thanks to Jun Wei's father sending me and TKK home on his car.
There was 1 school who did amazing great in the robotics competition by achieving a new record. F1 timing 31 seconds, R1 timing is less than a minute. The school is Woodlands Ring Secondary and the teams from this school was great. Their robot has great speed and their programming strategy was great from the looks of their robot running through the tracks. I am amazed by their skills. Hope they win the competition tomorrow and become the champion and all the best to all the teams that made it to tomorrow's finals.
