now here in college, things are really different! im in third yr now.. i've improved myself in electronics.. something which i've loved from my school days.. thanks to my sir Mr. Prakash babu.. he was the one who inspired me into all this stuff.. and in here.. it was Raghu.. in 5th yr when i was in my first.. it was nice working with him.. my first project.. in my first yr.. now that was a real cooool thing to do a project in the first yr itself.. (i didnt care abt it much though!) i worked with tejesh and shipra.. both, the then 3rd yrites.. it was a security system which sent the pic of the person who came to your house when you're out.. that was my first electronics project experience.. i became famous like that.. never thought i would though! i never thought there was anything abt me that ppl liked.. but following that techfest was a brochure signing session.. much like passing arnd a slam book (in this case a bunch of sheets) where ppl put in their thoughts abt you.. and there were praises.. literally.. saying that im the most down to earth person they'd ever met blah blah! it was nice to see all that! for once i had a proof that i was capable of something huge!(though i never underestimated my potentials till now, i guess!). that was APOGEE 2k5 my first bitsian techfest.. i'd also won a robotics competition then.. again.. that was cool for first yrite!
then in second yr.. my project was the hospbot.. a robot with features like line tracking capability, wireless video transmission using bluetooth and ability to take voice commands to move around the place.. that was my first experience with actual robot buliding.. and being the only guy to take care of the whole of hardware stuff, i learnt a lot about it.. the team comprised of me, the hardware, electronics and brain behind the idea(!!), sabari.. the software wizard.. rajagopal.. another software chap and a God at Maya vide animations! we really rocked the show that apogee.. APOGEE 2K6. though we didnt win any prize this time, we loved our bot.. and liked the way we had worked on it.. what ever modules we had thought of to implement, we had them ALL working.. for the right moment! the best part in our design was the simplicity of circuitry and bot design.. everything made from scrap.. literally everything from body to wheels! we love that concept!
it was after this that i got involved in the robotics lab of the college.. my first assignment.. to build a H bridge.. a task that the 3rd yrites were to able to complete themselves! i had done it in less than a week! (nothing great abt it.. just that the 3rd yrites who worked on it were too lazy!!)
with that.. the amt of stuff i learnt increased exponentially.. i started my own club.. the Robotics Club.. with about 30 members in it.. working hardcore.. though only 1 and a half semesters old, the response i got from my juniors (I yrites) was overwhelming! so much so that almost all projects done for APOGEE 2K7 were done by first yr students.. and most of them won prizes!
for the first time in my life, i realized how great my potentials were.. i could actually influence a whole gang of students into my area of interest! I loved that thought!
alright.. i actually wanted to write some serious stuff in this blog! but looks like i've bragged abt myself too much here! anyway.. it feels nice to read it myself!
hey.. one more thing.. anyone who needs some help in electronics. do feel free to contact me.. i'll try my best to help you out!
