we just snatched the best time at the scrabion... Robotics event @ Murious 07.
It was a 4 day and 3night venture to complete a bot [ ... or rather it was a warfare tool ] that would snatch the pieces off the ground and place them accordingly.
well quiet goofy it was to control it manually, but rather very negligible as compared to its making. shiny metal and shards of wires were the only to be found as we completed it, and alongside stood a glistening, tough and quiet resilient looking automaton [... yaa i luv using that word !!! ] . It was all but a single piece steel sheet, tightly screwed up with quiet heavy but a powerful revolving pivot [... u call that a motor! interesting ] whom MATHUR bought out of all his softheaded natural tendency [ No offence , no regrets mathur ] coz' they were so heavy to pull themselves up a ramp. newayz, lets declare Mathur...
Person Siddharth_Mathur;
Siddharth_Mathur . hometown = Delhi; // i know that u all know what being a dellite means !!
Siddharth_Mathur . face = Mike_Schinoda.face; //ya that LP singer
Siddharth_Mathur . Biceps = "good and quiet taken care of";
Siddharth_Mathur . Other = IEEE + Gym + khane ka saman + T%@$$Uzzzz;
so, mathur's got the things moving [... or more precicely rotating !!! ]. Up with the design, we were screwed even before we could Screw the motors onto their slots. Now came into the scene yet another creature amongst us, but this tym it was not so easy to cope. this beastly appearance was none other then Utkarsh (a.k.a. Uttu). His fat flinging arms were the first to give a decisive blow onto the under construction site. with quiet, keen and inquisitive , swift motion, Uttu's arms lifted the 'to-be-body' of our bot and gave a rigorous try to check its shear modulus [ or whatever u call it ], resulting into a silent clank, and thereby the bot, which was supposed to give a Tank look [ alas ! ] was reduced to look of a mere boat. ceiling reduced into shards and luckily slots left intact for we just had this 1 chance,this 1 opportunity and most of all just this one steel sheet.[ SOS ] For this and many more of such gracious deeds, lets declare Uttu also.

Utkarsh_Jain . desc = {sweet,cute,chubby,nymphomaniac};

After being into a huge crisis [ ...of i dont know what ], finally we got hands on to the ones who were supposed to be the additive inverse [ or rather multiplicative inverse ] to our declining probability of participating into the event. NASA (a.k.a. Saurabh)[ ya i did that intentionally ! ] was R&D section to our controlling device. quiet entangled with the circuit components, NASA took 5 hr's. to finally declare that he is still confused about the circuit [ aaaaaaaargghh ! ]. Well now we found a place for team-work and god sake it turned out well, within 1/2 an hr we were ready with the circuit design, [ alas first milestone ] but NASA still, was identified to be in a confused state [ hey WTF ] . neways he somehow managed to put his internal circuitery to proper position and he was up and running [ probably second milestone !!! ].
Meanwhile, done with the chassis of the bot we were encountered with a common fact that, running short on resources was an inbuilt feature into our chip sets !!! two of the hangars [ yup the same u r thinking abt. ] which were supposed to be converted into the fork, ended up quiet violently. as the tym for 3rd one 'Shaily' turned up and with his Artistically augmented arms transformed it to a fork.
As far as my part, it was to dovelope a circuit to be working on parallel port . circuit was up just before dawn, my code was running like hell so we just had a jolly time. getting somethings to their slots was a gr8 relief [ again i don't know from what !!! ].
Done with all components, assembling was a child's play and we were ready to hit the arena. Quiet unaware of the competing designs we reached arena to find major problem in power supply. delayed to the last contestant, we waited. whole day passed, we were the last ones to perform. and hell !!!
It was me who has got to control the bot manually. Test run was spine chilling. high on power supply, our bot was a tempest for the arena. satisfied with its working we pushed onto the final run. every thing went fine , NO extremely fine , Ohh Fine over my neck.Viola, not a single man-handling ,just 2 times breaking off the arena and the best time... off the league it was... Who else could have done it.. and a loud roar leapt off my throat to declare the victory. Winners were we to be called. hell yeah !!!
