Sarabjeet and his Level 2 robot

Sarabjeet has made tiny contributions by letting out IC names and possible techniques to build a strong,hardy and reliable robot.All this in exchange of a few programs for robot control which I mailed him!Well,let’s hope that this co-operation results in sweet fruits for both robots.Basically,this is a result of free sharing of knowledge,the principle of [...]

Tapas and the Level 2 robot

Lol,it looks like the Level 2 robot is more of Tapas’ project than ours(namely myself,Ankit and Hemant’s)We spend less time thinking and discussing about it than Tapas.Now,he says he needs no track specs and has made a design which will run on any and every kind of track….lol,then why did he ask for the track [...]

Extra-curricular activities…..

Hemant joined up with the team to build the Level 2 robot.Found some useful help from Tapas(we can source components from him and ask for advice too).Turned out it would be cheaper to just mod a cheap no-power monster truck.The kind with which kids play……so off we go to buy that kind of truck tommorrow [...]

Nice day upto now….Ubuntu back online

Woke up early,just about the right time to get to class on time.My Grub error 17 problem was finally solved by nuking and remaking the /boot partition.A preliminary guess by the list was a corrupted filesystem but when I came to think about it,fsck.ext2 had given a “clean” verdict.Rony suggested that he had faced problems [...]

A sleeeepy day!

Saturdays and Sundays are holidays from college,the few days when a Engineering student of Mumbai University can rest! Though it’s not possible to laze around doing nothing,since we have to study something in preparation for the exams since even though the semester is officially for six months,we get only four months to complete [...]

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay [...]

Another day in life.

Nothing to write home about today.Quite unlike the day before yesterday.I got much more done today than other normal days.Again we got only the 7:48 TL and had to put up with the sight of the 7:42 T leaving right in front of our eyes.A few centimetres from the regular position nearly prevented me from [...]

The most unproductive day EVER!

Must have been a black day yesterday.I (planned to) wake up at my regular time at 6:30 am.Turned out it extended to nearly seven!As soon as I woke up,I had a feeling that this day was not gonna be upto my expectations.Rushed through my routine and left home 5 minutes late.As if this was not [...]
