Dancing Robots

Finally, the project has drawn to a close. The Acceptance Test was on Thursday, and despite our code being about as stable as Richard Whitty during Raisin Weekend, Kirby decided that we had all "something worthwhile to demonstrate". I had a glance at his notes, in fact - under our group he had "Nice GUI", which sounds like good news for us even if the rest of it's terrible.

The robots' method of dancing was questionable, though - most of them started off at the same time, but in different directions and at different speeds. The chaos of robots ploughing in to each other at the deadly speed of 3mph was just about how I expected the day to go, though. gh's group was remarkably unfortunate - they had their robot working almost perfectly, then it was trodden upon by a passing IT tutor. Being none too happy about this, it then refused to travel in anything but straight lines for the rest of the day. Which is more than some of the other robots could do, in fact.

The day after, I got The Easiest Practical In The World (aka Database Connection) out of the way first, followed by finishing the last practical of the year, Chess in PVS. Well, I only finished it in a way - that way being "imaginary". I gave up halfway through, submitted it and went to Empire instead.

Now there's just the matter of that 50-page report to write by Thursday morning.
