The construction of the circuit has commenced. No robot chassis nor exoskeleton pieced together yet; we are still lacking the base, motors, wheels and the material and blueprints we plan on using for the exoskeleton (-->my bad). Some of the parts that we are to use for the completion of the program circuit are with Anne, who unfortunately is currently bedridden (get well soon! ^^)...aww.
A rather large percentage of the group is goofing off (surfing, going on social networks, checking out magic card prices, etc.). Only the dedicated few are actually responsible enough to at least jot down a brief documentation of the meeting's activities (my part, and let me remark that I do this despite nearly nonexistent recognition obtained from doing so) or do something to solve the 'MISSING PARTS' crisis. Our group leader comes to the rescue (as always)! She is currently finding ways to contact Anne and retrieve the parts. Next come the 2 gallant Techno Connoisseurs of our group (they have most graciously offered to help us and actually have experience on this microcontroller mojo). Of course we cannot forget the creator of our concept – the one who came up with is truly inspiring idea to build this Infrared-Sensing Robot. He is racking his brains for what to do next. We’ll get back to his adventures later…
I regrettably admit that we are way off schedule. Our ESRII’s schedule is MWF. Below is the proof:

For today, everyone is busy preparing their group gadget for the up coming Sci-Tech Fair 2008.
My group for now: working together to finish the project.
Cindel: making the flowchart of our program.
Mark: studying and researching for the betterment of our project.
Anne T. and Bugs: solder the components of our gadget into the (something) board.
Alex: taking vidoes of anne and bugs in doing the soldering parts.
Ariella: Researching for the improvement of our project and at the same time helping anne in soldering the components.
Godfrey: make this blog.
23 January 2008.
GOD IS GOOD! Mark has finally soldered all the components of the program circuit onto the PCB. All that’s left to be done is the clipping of the ends that stick out, and the polishing. Yay! We can now start constructing the robot chassis.
This part unfortunately hasn’t been figured out yet, so our group is brainstorming…

useless day..
wala si cindel and halos walng nagtatrabaho sa amin ngayon.
nakaharap lahat sa pc and nagblogging lng ata..
ang problem namin ngayon is walang naka-assign para guma ng program ng robot namin. un pa tlga ang pinka important na part... so.... panu yan ngayon???
1 February 2008
wla akong masabi kc di ko alm ang ginagawa ng aking group.
4 Februaary 2008
Absent na naman c cindel. pati rin c boon. naga-net lng karamihan sa amin except kay mark. go mark!!!!
and, malapit na ang deadline ng project.
net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, net, and NET!!!! un lng gnagawa namin ngayon.

same!!!!pero nanjan na si cindel.
kami pa rin ni ang gumagawa ng blogs.
lahat: naga net.
18 February 2008
naganet lng kami lahat..wala na atang patutunguhan ang aming gadget...
wala akong blogs on previous meetings kc busy.
20 February 2008
Last meeting na namin sa embedded today. Pero wala pa rin tlga ang aming gadget..
wala talaga akong natutulong kundi magblog lng.grabeh na din kc ang stress ngayong week.last week na nga, madami pang icomply para maka-take ng exam.
lahat kami naganet lng din ngayon, san may "magmotivate sa amin para may kumilos at gumawa ng project ulit..
after exams, magtulong na tlga ako.
ang alam ko nagyon sa aming project kay, hinihintay nila mikko and boon na matapos ni mark yung ginagawa niya para makaprogram na sila mikko. ewn kung anu na ang latest. tsaka, di ko rin alam kung anu ang tawag dun sa gadget na ginagawa ni mark.
sana matapos na namin ito para atleast may application ang aming mga natutunan sa elective.
(magsign ba sir ng clearance kapag walang gadget before exams?)
dragonfable and friendster lang ako ngayon.
bye!!
