Bad Luck!

From the past few days I have been planning as usual to post on the blog but as usual I was no getting time to post anything. I’ve been trying to find the perfect atmosphere to write something as there is something going around all the time with me. I had to submit the report for our project and the circuit for the same robot as well. It took me full 24 hours to find the material for the report and I’m sure the material I found was irrelevant. There was nothing of much notice for the “Line tracking robot” so I had to fill the report with bogus articles collected from different sites. It was yesterday on 10th October, 2009 when we had to submit the report with the demo of the circuit we made. Things were going really well, an hour before the start of the demonstration, the circuit was working properly, the report was on course, but around 10 minutes before the start of the presentation things started to go wrong. The report we had made was still to be printed out. As we were already getting late for the demo so we sent one of our class fellows with the USB so that he take out the print outs and hand us over, but by the look of things I get a hint that he copied our report, I’m not so sure about it but the way things have gone It looks that it will be a copy case. On the other hand, our circuit that was working so properly didn’t work during the demo … we were given another chance and we made some changes and made it to work properly but it again refused to work in front of our teacher. The reason we found out was that we had set the voltage to 5V and the board that our teacher had during presentation was set at 6V, well we had worked so hard for both of our report and circuit and we were all really disappointed. Adding insult to injury we were told by our sir that “ We are a copy case, and we had copied all the project of another group, including the design, drawing etc” It was so demoralizing to hear that, we had worked so hard for everything up till now … I’m sure now that cheating, making some variations and getting full marks is loads better than working hard, being sincere and getting a zero :) …. But at the same time I will say that it was no one’s fault, it’s just that luck is not on our side!
