Parts construction - BEGUN !







ok i have not much idea of what these are , but am pretty sure the ones i work with do know :)

A model for display

We did manage to work out a model for display user a robotics kit from Ekkalaivaa and were able to muster up something that looks like this.





Outreach to Schram Academy !

now this is a place where kids grow brains by pouring einstien's equations and newtown's laws when they should be studying 1+1 = 2.

amazing kids, just in their 8th grades ! they were the set of students who am very sure will be changing the face of the country when they are up n about in their own feet. extraordinary indeed ! gr8 time ! !








Outreach to Erode !



The fun we had is everlasting, and the kids were amazing :) they gave us the idea of how children are growing up in this era and how things can be developed in their minds just by implication of idea rather than force.


                                      





very smart group of kids, active to the same level. they sure gave us a hell a lot of fun, and gr8 memories to take back with us to add to the outreach and the value of this project.


The design - google sketchup

Well Thermocol is good, but hey a good diagram with a pro program like Google Sketchup is ALWAYS useful now aint it :)


did i mention we made some ROUGH values as well on paper :D




Thermocol Model

oh yes we made a proper thermocol model of this O_O i just hope it looks the right way it was supposed to.

The Robotics season is here :)

Imagine attending class after a whole month of bunking it just to find out you gonna go on a whole new trip once again !!!! ? Well thats what am doing now thanks to LUNABOTICS !!


Now Lunabotics is not exactly Lunatic Robotics, its kinda more like Lunar Robotics, something that i guess NASA seriously needs some help with ;p since they have been off late approaching too many outsiders for ideas :D


OH WELL !  am in it ! :D SO I DONT CARE !!


The Lunabotics Mining Competition is a university-level competition designed to engage and retain students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). NASA will directly benefit from the competition by encouraging the development of innovative lunar excavation concepts from universities which may result in clever ideas and solutions which could be applied to an actual lunar excavation device or payload. The challenge is for students to design and build a remote controlled or autonomous excavator, called a lunabot, that can collect and deposit a minimum of 10 kilograms of lunar simulant within 15 minutes. The complexities of the challenge include the abrasive characteristics of the lunar simulant, the weight and size limitations of the lunabot, and the ability to control the lunabot from a remote control center.

thats what NASA says . :)
