depends on weather for me, no waterproof pants = i get soaked easily.

Also probably won't keep up, my xs250 is a couch. Comfy, but you can't move it easily

Will do.

lol. It's just water. Won't get an acid burn. Think you not being able to keep up won't be a problem. Won't leave anyone behind.

got a txt from timati about piha, and then raj about a ride leaving from his house, so i imagine that was the plan

unfortunately i ended up spending most the day in the mechatronics lab at uni

Well the plan was for us to go to Piha however ended "following" Raj enroute to Piha. We obviously didn't end up in Piha. Think it was Riverhead. Roads were wet and slippery especially around the corners. A guy from another group of us binned his bike around one of the corners. Nasty fall. He made it out alright but his bike was fucked especially the rear. We stopped to see if he was alright. Think he came around the corner a little too fast and tight.

You're 2nd year aren't you? How'd you get in? I'm pretty sure only 3rd years have access.

Btw, are you a fairly lanky guy with blonde hair? I think you're in a paper I'm a TA for, heh.

the two other 2nd year guys i'm doing the warman project with have access for some reason - they don't know why/how either


lol yeah that's me - which paper?

MECHENG270.

You're doing warman? With Josheel by any chance? I'm supposed to be ordering a pair of sensors for him, forgot D: crap.

That's the impression I got when we ended up idling at the corner which apparently used to have a "boat shed"...

Indeed, would be weird in you were in my lab group... D:

um, 11-12 is the one i'm in.

You'd have noticed my helmet on those few days I ride in (less now, dun trust the wheel or the starter)

lol you'd better hurry up with that, we kinda really need to start fiddling with and testing them

i didn't have a choice; in february I enrolled for the 11-12 on wednesday but that idiot running the thermofluids course didn't check ndeva when he planned his labs (a week before 2nd semester began) and refused to move me, so i was forced to move my software lab to tuesday morning. now i have a 2 hour wait for my 5 hours of lectures to begin at 1pm

Real_Wolf
5th August 2008, 18:40
ouch 5 hours of lectures?

I was totally hoping that the lecture would be cancelled for thursday, then I'd have no classes, but friday isn't bad, since that was clashing with my lab, so I had 1 less hour of lab a week, when I'm already on a tight schedule for physics labs

They're ordered now btw, shouldn't be too long. From what I saw of josheel's stuff today, you guys have a fair bit to do before you need the sensors anyway. Shouldn't be too long, it's coming from Sydney.

we really want need them asap as we need to figure out exactly what voltages we get back and "calibrate" everything as best we can before next weekend.
problem is the other guy, ronald, is going off to egypt for a few weeks for this software olympiad thing next week and has written all the software without actually commenting it enough for us to understand what he's done.
planning to have a prototype/mock up chassis ready by the weekend, and then hoping to fit all the parts we can and get everything operating smoothly while we wait for less than crucial electronics and other materials
