Robotics and Rocketry club at PESIT

Dec 20, 2005 18:25

On November 19th 2005, PESIT finally launched its 'Robotics and Rocketry' club. mrinal and I were present at the launch (also to be felicitated for our "achievements" in robotics). The launch itself was pretty interesting, with 3LER being programmed to press a button which would launch a model rocket. I had to build a prototype of 3LER in little more ( Read more... )

You look positively surprised in the video that the thing actually worked - following the rocket all the way through to ensure it didn't accidentally decide to heed gravity or something. :)

Anyway, good stuff - maybe programming (however extreme) could be relegated to a hobby?

Hehe, Ya, this whole rocket launch thing was just for fun. And, there was a great deal of uncertainity reg the success of the "mission" :p

BTW, what i haven't put up is the part of the video where we are being 'felicitated'. Mrinal had this *ultra* i-dunno-how-to-define look on his face.

Wait for it..
Wait for it....

Yeah, I have heard it is tough for you to get things up anyway.

Applause!

Newayz, put up the whole video somewhere!

Hey Dude!

I am not sure you know me, nor am I sure I know you. I am from PESIT too (E&C Batch - 2001 pass out) ... Since, I have dabbled in robotics for a while and to cut a long story short, I would very much love to contribute to this effort at PES. Can you leave me your contact details?

the removal of dot and @ sign is to stop bots from spamming my mail id.

Hey there JD,
i would definitely like to contribute, but all my contributions can only be online. Let me know if u need any info in the mechatronics field. Its gonna be my domain of work from january onwards. (specifically in the field of proximity sensors)
