All the equitment was given by Toshiba. Included LEGO of the robot (http://mindstorms.lego.com/eng/Bangkok_dest/Default.aspx), laptop, the programming software, and the course that we had to run our robot. The aim of the contest was to build a robot which could follow the black line of the course provided. Then at the end, the robot have to move a can to at targeted area. The most accurate and fast robot will be the winner.
We were given one day per week (for 4 weeks) and OT from 5pm to 6.30pm to complete this task. I had to OT a lot because the robot didnt work very well. My programming skill.... eto..ne.... it takes time for me to do program!!! Kind a relief after today because the OT of the robot was a bit tiring. ^^ やっと終了した！！！
