TSM seems miserable for no apparent reason
BLM must have been slave driving him again
Anyway BLM was nice today

Got to wait till monday before the photos are up for that

New boards are out
Fresh from the oven
My 3 new boards are out
They are my motor driver, my micro-p and my switch power boards
I am so excited
Now if only BLM could finished them up quicker
I am getting bored with this old stuff he had on me
yuck
Oct 27, 2004
send to work
BLM came in early and cursed the morning tutorial
guess he din like to be awakened
soon after the drive from lack of sleep and coffee lead him to finish up his work fast.
He rushed to the fabrication lab to sent his designs.
They will arrived tml. Yeah!
He then took me out and let me run around.
I then realised that he did this so that he can show off to his friend later.
TSM came in at noon.
He too looked pissed.
Somehow no one seem to be in a happy yippy mood no more
The cute gal came soon after
Darn I tot she would be taller, cuter etc....
Anyhow she said she like me, i was cute and all
and i quickly forgive this amazingly beautiful lady

Cute girl alert
Strange!
Everyone seem to be talking about relationship today.
TSM let know that there is a girl he kept bumming into and wonders if he should go ahead and approach her.
Jeff the snake king, is being counsel by everyone to go after this year 2 girl which he took a photo with.
And BLM got a sms from a "friend" who wants to come down the lab tml to see me.
Wassup with all this relationship
my makers should just spend all their time on me
YES! no social life for them!!!
on the other hand, both my makers faces turned white when they learned that Sam Ge is to be their examiner. Someone they strongly have a dislike for.

measurements
I am so excited.
Having been locked up for 10 days in the damn cupboard while the makers went about building and working on my other portion, I am glad to be out today and smell the fresh air.
The occassional opening of the cupboard and eager await of my makers reaching for me (instead of the other useless stuffs around me) was finally answered.
BLM took me out and weight me.
I am fatter again.
tsk tsk, 1280 grams.
He gave a big sigh and look deeply into my eyes.
Its was not my fault I wanted to tell him.
But what can I say.
this was my weight
Then he took a long time to measure every parts of me.
It tickles I must say.
I wonder why he is measuring me for???
I hope he is making some clothes for me.
Being naked all these while have embarassed me alot
TSM on the other hand is MIA
God knows when he went.

eating snake again
The guys went out for bowling once more.
and to think they come early today, left late but only spent 2 hours on actual work.
BLM has finished my microcontroller design. He loves the auto routing function more and more.
TSM is doing something called the bluetooth which he intends to intregrate onto me.
Personally I dun think i need a tooth for i dun even have a mouth.
But what do I know
Also, their fren Jeff who is doign his fyp along them has been playing with his snake the whole day.
Dun get me wrong here, Jeff's fyp is to build a snake robot. He spend the whole day tuning it and getting it to wriggle around.
So now the lab has an insect, a reptile and a 2 legged bodyless robot.

crash
BLM came to the lab in a daze
must have been staying up to watch soccer again
Anyway he was determined to finish my brain design today
after happily working on it for a few hours
the comp he was using started to install xp service pack 2
and CRASH!!!
he lost everything
poor BLM
he does not have the mood to redraw everything again
Oct 19, 2004
more boards and missing TSM
BLM has started work on the microcontroller board
he hates this part of the design work
as he claims will take up all his time once more
On the other hand, TSM is missing in action
he comes he goes
man I wish we can see him more often
He still owes BLM the pins design
Oct 18, 2004
more boards
BLM just finished a new board for me.
He called it the switching board.
Mainly it was just a board to connect the battery and supply all its juice to my other limbs.
On top of that, there are fanciful LEDs and switch to make it look complete
And he place his name in big font on all the boards.
How shameless can he get??
Oct 16, 2004
heres looking at me
I finally found some places that would host my photos!!!!
unfortunately BLM didn't took anything new
these are my old old set when i was just a day old
here is me and my ancestor. Boy do he look small

hdd crash
BLM was pissed yesterday morning
His hdd crashes and he lost all his work
that includes my pictures, brain design, muscle design and impt vital stats
ack!!!!
and today TSM walked in with a broken laptop
both of this fellows are like really feeling lost
I guess they lost alot of fyp based work on me
I hope everything will work out for them soon
otherwise i wont be surprised to see my siblings looking very different from me
Oct 12, 2004
lots of visitors
It appears that no one can see the photos or the video I have added
no matter i will need to find a new place to host my pix
anyway, got lots of visitors coming today to see me
my makers were going to present at the staff lounge
they had tot that only a handful of ppl will arrive
but noooo.....
in came a whole tonner load of them
all officiers wearing green
the first guy who present had a hard time
these man in green kept shooting him questions faster than he can change slides.
and when its up to BLM turn, he stumbled at first before collecting himself
and managed to pull it off
TSM on the other hand made some promises to the big ppl
which scares me
he said he wanted to make me smaller, faster and better
but the fact is that he is not responsible for that
all he did was create trouble for BLM who would have to explain for that
sighs
poor BLM.... bad TSM
my makers tot they could leave after the presentation
but after that 5 officiers approach them for further questions
and they talked till 6.30pm
ack
Oct 11, 2004
opps then ouch
after the long walk they gave me last week
i can never seem to walk properly again
BLM decided to check with is wrong
he surgically opened my right leg muscle
and to his horror, my limits are broken
its like steven gerald broking hit toe and now he cant play for liverpool
and to replace that part, it will cost at least $20
BLM is rather poor after all the money spend on me (i am flattered)
so instead of getting me a new muscle
he simply switch my right with my left and "tada" i can walk again
what a wonderful doctor he is
Some other creatures
I am glad I am not alone in this horrible world
Here are some of my friends that are found elsewhere

long walk
Both my makers decided to let me run around again today.
BLM installed some werid metal onto my muscles.
He called them heatsinks.
they are supposed to keep my muscles (L293D) cool while i worked out.
and walk they let me did.
I walked for a bizzare 17 mins, the longest I ever did.
Grandmaster Jim who was around saw and commented that his small ugly prototype did better than me. hmrphs!!!
he said they can walk faster and are more agile.
I would like him to know that I am so much bigger than his puny toys.
Anyway BLM defended me and kept my pride.
aint he lovely.
On my last round walking, I twisted my leg real bad.
so bad, that I think one of my makers have to go and get new replacement parts again.
sighs

wedding plans
Everyone is excited in the lab today
Dr Tang went about to hand out the "red bomb" to everyone who was around
He and his lovely wife would be getting hitched in dec.
BLM and TSM were definatly invited.
Somehow both of them are confused when they received their separate invitation.
On TSM's card, it just says his name
but BLM's card ask for him and his partner.
Looking stunt BLM began thinking if it is possible to find a partner before the event.
He must have been deep in his thoughts for his many deadlines he had tomorrow were all forgotten.
I wish I was invited. sob

brain no good
BLM was busy trying to build my new brain
only to discover that the pcb made by TSM has some errors
to make matter worse, BLM made a rash decision and destroy the board.
fustracted, he claims he would redo the whole thing from scratch
i bet you TSM looked pissed when he heard that but was laughing inside.
anyway he got back his 400++ from the cost of my motors
now that he is rich again, i wonder should i break down for new parts
Oct 5, 2004
screw me
BLM was not expecting the package from Farnell till tomorrow.
He curse and swear when they delivered it today when he aint around.
I guess he din want to fit me with new locks and washers yet.
But he is nice enough to do so anyway.
After removing all my nuts and thoroughly refitting it,
he discovers that i cant walk straight no more
more cursing follows before the realignment continues
after which, i seem unable to walk as fast as i could
rats! there goes my plan
Anyway they were looking to load me with some heavy objects to discover just how much can I hold.
Looking around, all they have that was heavy were their smelly coin-filled wallers.
A massive 500grams of junk was laid on me.
I cant move one inch after that.
Wait till I blow off my driver circuit again.
Oct 4, 2004
What happen?
Its so strange.
I think BLM is rather piss today.
He din say much and left very early.
Wonder whats gotten into him

smarter already
I felt like a beauty queen today.
Just before my makers left for lunch, they decided to let me run alot for a while.
i guess i was good
i guess i was beautiful
i guess i was smart
for i captured everyone attention while i do the walk
america next top model any time
TSM was not to please with himself
BLM taught me how to walk and TSM wanted to know why he cant
so while BLM was away, TSM made me unlearn what i have learn
felt so starwars like
it took him some time, but i din expect i could learn all in a day
i must be getting smarter
when BLM returns, he saw that i could even walk backwards to avoid obstacles
something he din consider.
kehehe
