Thesis Never Ends


Finally it's life after thesis or so we thought here's what happens when thesis runs a little too long (as usual).

Final Demo Pictures


Xuan Li was nice enough to take some pictures of our team on the final demo here they are.

The Recharge


Upon realization that I haven't had a real break form work in 4 weeks (dumb school work) I decided today was a day were I needed to take a mandatory break day before I lose it. So here's a quick run down of my nature hike.

So after that explanation here's some wallpapers for everyone.

No more variables

Today we hit quite a road block RobotC ran out of variables we are currently working on ways to minimize the number variables used in our straight driving algorithm and our basic turning algorithm.

I'm personally having second thoughts about all the previous algorithms where we were trying to be very precise with everything it seems now we don't have that kind of luxury.

The super long thesis meeting

I haven't been updating much recently, actually aside from thesis I haven't been doing much else. But thesis is it's own brand of insanity and fun!

Driving in the snow is dangerous.

Trip to Disney


This was the first sign that caught my eye while going through the town of Jonesville. It seems that in the USA they aren't as used to being as multicultural as we are here in great white north (although this year it's less white than usual more green oddly).




First park was Animal Kingdom. Disney really has the market on gigantic over sized trees as you will see in a later photo.




The rides at Disney always try to entertain you while your in line. The wait areas generally are littered with stuff to read or props to set the mood.




A giant dinosaur model sits in the middle of this wait line for the ride.




The attention to detail on the architecture also is what would make Disney a "theme" park and all other parks just amusement parks.




Big doors separate each section of the park.




I'm assuming Disney has a whole lot of these gigantic fake Christmas trees this one is so tall they have wires holding it together. The tree measures 3 stories in person.




Seaworld is not bad with their set design as well. This sea lion set for example looks very authentic.




I saw some professional photographers coach some paying customers on how to pose below the hat. The pose looked easy enough and here's the resulting shot.




The most recognizable image of disney has to be the Buena Vista castle otherwise known as the Cinderella castle. Here it is in all it's glory. One has to wonder how many times a year they need to repaint to keep the fairy tale colours bright.




Universal Studios has a way of making exciting rides look completely boring. For example this ride "Revenge of The Mummy" is actually a roller coaster believe it or not.




My best Atlas imitation.




Here I am in Atlanta (on the way back) next to the Olympic stadium.
