Would anyone like to work on a Robotics project?
Since I don't have the personal time to build everything I want to these days, I was wondering if a project group would like to work on a robot? I would sponsor all expenses, I just want to see the idea tested out and I have no time/energy to do it myself.
Over an year ago, we established a new Limca Record category for domino cascades in India (you can watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi4PgybW1pc). We want to break the record again next year with a 100,000 dominoes, and the prototyping effort for that is underway.
As you may imagine laying down dominoes is a risky and painstaking effort. If we could automate this, we could achieve massively larger scales.
For this purpose, I am looking for teams who are interested in doing something new, crazy and different. I want to explore just how effective a domino laying robot might be. If anyone is interested, please respond and we can hash out how to go about it from there.
Please note, this will be a personally endorsed project - my company is not sponsoring it, and don't expect any certificates (I doubt certified by 'Archis Gore' has any value.) However, if we do attempt the Limca record, you will be credited as being part of the team and will have your name published in the next edition (this is a big 'if', but that's how anything ambitious starts; if you want guarantees, I'm not the guy to talk to).
For those who know me, the sky's the limit so far as your technologies are concerned. I care about the problem and it's solution. You have full reign on everything else - use whatever language you want, use whatever boards you want, use whatever controller you want.

Welcome Trupti. Glad to see more enthusiasm. What you need to know is on this thread, and then it says go join the group which contains further details. Keep following the instructions to catch-up and ramp up. Then meet with the team at their next meeting.
Fortunately for you, since I myself am not in Pune, everything that the group does is being captured online for everyone to read, so there's nothing you have missed.
Roshan, want to give her some gyan and a pep-talk about her not having much experience? :-)
Trupti V Kulkarni said:hello sir,
I also wish to be a part of this project . It seems really intresting and I'am sure I'am will learn too many things apart from general textual knowledge.. I'm classmate of Roshan Nagekar .But I don't have any kind of experience in this kind of projects. I hope sir its not too late to join this project.
