1st official day of my MP/SIP

Wa time flies, I'm already a year 3 student in TP.
Finally having my MP/SIP on this semester.

Ok I've been telling everyone bout my attachment is something to do with a robotics competition.
But didn't really elaborate more bout it. Gonna do so here with this post =)

The competition that I'm participating is :

WorldSkills Singapore

It's a nation world competition that allows Singaporean students and trainees from secondary schools, junior colleges, ploytechnics, ITE Colleges, companies and other institutions of higher learning, who are not older than 21 years old to join. The qualifying rounds are around sept while the finals is on 20 to 22 January 2011.
WorldSkills Singapore 2011 winners will get the chance to represent Singapore at the prestigious 41st WorldSkills Competition to be held in London, United Kingdom, in October 2011. OMG if I got 1st, my NS will be delayed. I think I won't want that to happen. Haha.

The competition consists of different categories such as : Cooking, Industrial Electronics, Caring, Restaurant Service, Web Design and many many more. I'm joining the category known as Mobile Robotics =)

You can know more bout it here : http://www.ite.edu.sg/wss/_CED/competition_skills_robot.html

Ok introducing the robot that I've always been working on :

It's ugly. Haha.
It has a name! It's called Robotino.

So how do I work with it? By using a programme called RobotinoView. I will use the software to program the robot to do things such as obstacle avoidance, line-tracking, colour detection etc etc shall not confuse you all with the chimonology
The robotino is totally controlled by the computer software using wifi.
Sounds easy but it is not T_T

Ok jia you alvin =)
Shall end here. Bye~
