Open Day

As the creators of one of the more exciting exhibits from the engineering department, Wade and I were on hand at the La Trobe open day. We had an exceptionally flashy poster, which was designed by Wade. Along with this we had the UAV and a rolling display of video and still pictures displayed up on a LCD screen.
The whole experience was fun, but fairly exhausting (probably not for Wade - as he sat and coded the whole time). It was interesting to talk to various prospective students (and parents) who were in the same position as me 5 or 6 years ago.
One little goof up from the CS department was announcing our project as the Unnamed Aerial Vehicle - rather than Unmanned - grr.
Interestingly enough some people saw our Age and Herald Sun articles but I was just bad at picking them. Whenever I asked people had they seen them I got a really quizzical look, but others made a B-line for our display stating they had seen us in the paper

No T-shirts, but we did get to have La Trobe caps (see the next post).
