For the past few
months, we were assigned a group project which was building a Quad-copter. Yes.
Quad-copter is a copter having 4 propellers on each arm. It sounds cool. This is
so far the most experiencing and memorable journey studying here as a fresher. We
were grouped by our lecture but not our own. We don’t get to choose who you want
to work with and who you don’t want. Well, it is quite a lucky and glad to have
my team. Throughout the journey, we learn and we get to know each other closer
than before. As a team, we need to learn how to cooperate together with the
other members. As a leader, we need to understand and accept comments from the group
members. There is no independent in a group project. As a team, work as a
team. We were so proud of ourselves through
the journey we made so far.
Before building the
actual Quad-copter, we need to come out a design on what type or what shape of
the Quad-copter we want. Well, we come out this Shuriken (NINJA STUFF) pattern
which all of us agree and love it. This design is considered the most
challenging structure so far because building a Quad-copter, you need to know
and understand the basic fundamental on building a real Quad-copter. We decide
to go beyond that normal and think out of the box. Thank you design team for
your hard work on the drawing in hand sketch or solid works. You guys did
amazingly.
When people see our
design, they say it definitely won’t work. We were like you never try you will
never know what will happen later. Our group have faith that our design can
actually work and prove that we can really make it works. Oh well, we did it
anyway. So stop commenting on our design. Haha!
When it comes to
fabrication, the team actually did a great job. Without their hard work and precision,
our Shuriken probably can’t be finish perfectly. We had been gone through hard
time and difficulties when building this Shuriken because we need to have more
precision on cutting and drilling every holes and each of every arms and materials.
It was not an easy task for us frankly speaking. Thank you for all of them who
willing to spend their time in the workshop and you guys did greatly. In the
workshop, we had been gone through happiness and difficulties, meanwhile, we
managed to solve them.
After fabrication, we
tested our Quad-copter for the first time. We were so worried that we couldn’t
fly it because due to our structure, it changes the direction when it started
to fly. It was quite hard for us to actually fly this Shuriken. We stayed at
uni for late night just to test and fly our Quad-copter. We were so worried
before the accessing day because we will be marked based on the tasks given. If
we can’t fulfill the tasks, we will have a low score. For the bad side, it couldn't
fly properly due to the alignment. For the good side, we made it because
Shuriken means to turn when flying. Well, achievement up, haha!
But seems miracle
visit us during the accessing day for our Shuriken. We were testing and all of
a sudden, our Shuriken can fly higher than any other groups. We were so happy
and jumpie that day because looking at other groups which they can fly their
copter perfectly, we had little disappointed in our heart. But seems like we
made it and we can do better than anyone else. Yay. Such an achievement for all
of us. Haha! We were so happy! Oh well, hard work pays off. Haha! We have faith
in you our dear Shuriken. You don’t disappoint us and make us proud. Such a
joyful day for us because we able to see our Shuriken flying in the air. At
first we thought that our Shuriken is kind of like flimsy and not strong, but
after testing and hitting walls, doors and stuff, hmmm… I doubt that. It is
strong! No doubt.
Lastly, I would like
to thanks all my members for giving in your time. We made it and we did great. Marks
doesn’t mean anything, what it matters is that we work as a team and we corporate
with each other peacefully. So proud of all of you. Haha! I wish I can have the
same team again for the next project. We really wish that. Heheh! Great job
guys! Achievement level up!! We get good scores too. Yay to all of us! haha
