Today I went for a robotics competition, held by ITE.
So I woke up at 6.30am,
Reached school at 7.20am.
Reporting time: 7.30am.
Leaving time to ITE @ MacPhearson: 7.45am.
Registration time: 9am.
End up?
Leaving time: 8.15am.
Tsk.
Bus uncle not punctual de.
Lucky reach at 8.45am.
Otherwise he die.
Anyway.
I was in the line tracing category.
Somehow we were the first group to go.
Maybe because it's "A"nderson.
Unfair lah.
But anyway.
Completed the track, but did not stop for 3 secs (as were the rules).
But because there were 20 teams,
and only 4 successful completes of the line track,
the judges decided to count reaching the ending point as completing the track.
So initially,
this whole thing was supposed to be judged by how far the robot travelled if it didn't complete the track.
And thus we were probably in 5th position or something.
But cos of this change,
WE GOT THIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apparently we were fast enough.
Since Bukit Panjang also reached the end but did not stop.
But they didn't get into the top 8.
So sad for them.
And the 2 other teams in the Obstacle Race also won.
1 3rd place (we very destined to get 3rd), and 1 merit.
Which I think they got 4th.
Cos got 5 merit awards.
Then after merit awards is the top 3 position.
And 1 Anderson team was the last to be announced in the merit awards.
So I think they got 4th.
So very good alr!!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BE GETTING THE TROPHY ON FRI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
