After 2 long weeks of suffering in the robotics lab, we only amounted to almost nothing. Everything for the robotics competition was actually finished in the last 2 days. las 2 nights actually, 9-11.30pm.
Our team was competing in the upper secondary open category. The theme was artist robot and we wanted to put in some 'unsur tradisional' in it. So, we created a batik drawing and painting robot. We wore blue batik shirts and white pants, we looked good. GAAH!! If only there was a best dressed and best decoration category, which they took out purposely because they knew PFS was too good at that. We could've won those hands down.
Some parts of the programming actually went wrong and because of the environment(open-air hall), the wax we heated continuously before the judges came froze too quickly. By the time the judging started, only drops of the wax came out of the 'canting' pen.
We had a kick-ass presentation and everybody was truly fascinated by our folio/presentation. Hence, we had a lot of people gathering around our booth almos the whole time. There were twinkling lights and a bright spotlight at our display. We also had our presentation shown on a big projector screen.
In the end, we only managed a 3rd place win and "Best Innovative Idea" award for our efforts. 2 PFS teams managed to get top-10 in the planting category, they won 5th and 10th place consiquently. We had a lot of fun and take that Lee Ewe Im for giveing us not enaough support. Should've given us more money and we could've won first. Oh well, we're aiming for next year because this is our first time in the open category and we really looked like amateurs.
Photos? Next time I log in..bubye..
