Finally we Pen down today

As planned a few days back, we had to start with the too long awaited work of our linefollower robot , we planned it to call that the "line leader" though.
After many changes from both the sides it was planned that the team will be meetin by 7 in the evening at R's place. At this time (7 pm) the "L" was sleeping and he ended up meeting the "R" at 8:41( exact). As everytime, Ravit rained many questions and Lakshay was ready with a bagful of excuses for each ;-). After wasting some time on fb, firstly, notes were made, actually a list of things to be done, a plan. The list included the checking of IR sensors, a part of the programming, and the creation of the same thing that you guys are reading rite now.
R had told L to get everything, but as usual L forgot a few bits and pieces(the comparator, and a CD).
We had already faced the problems of our new sensors not working, the expensive ones, as we expected them to, or even like anybody in our field would. But work had to be started, so we started checking for the output that the sensors wud give us, and we ended up fooking one more sensor, oh forgot to tell u one has already been fooked a few days back (Don't forget they are Expensive). We realized the mistake we were makin, but still was not workin as we would expect it to. Then we again checked the rest of the sensors but alas still they weren't working... Till now we were damn sure our second sensor is fooked :p . Now to handle this mess we decided to call our senior Anil bhaiya (4th yr, msit) . We had a chat wid him and we decided to take his help at every step (we'll soon be picking up all our mess and goin to his place :p hehe !!! )
Then we started working with the AVR kit we had (Actually we have 2, and we wud love to flaunt that we won one of them as a prize, in the first big competitoin we participated in our college). and it worked but we were still not satisfied .

So at around 12:45 , when we had done all that was in our hand, we finally came to the third point, "THE BLOG". The first thing was to setup an email ID, a very easy task, but the difficult one is the name, ek naam. Coincidentally, after many silly names, we both finally decided to give it no name, yeah u heard it rite our email id is noname.lr@gmail.com. After that the so-called early man started feelin sleepy and took a break at around 12:45, while Lakshay was watchin prison break.
Then we both decided upon taking a small nap, and comin up wid the names after it. At round 1:30, a friend of Lakshay called to wish him Bday, which just passed a few days back. Finally we slept together on the same bed ( we no u guys must be thinking bout silly gay jokes.... Actually we too were thinking bout them :p ). R woke L at around 3:30, apparently a friend of R had called him an hr ago.
Again comes in the "naamkaran" part for the blog url and the title. The title is the same as u guys might know us " The LR team ". Now as per the url was concerned, we wanted it to have all that we have within us Unique, Passion, Innovative, Adrenaline rush and undoubtedly LR. The result was very funny names like Rupali, Paruli, Uplair, etc etc. Though we liked Uplair, but finally agreed upon "Passionique", having all that we have Passion and Unique ideas and Unique ways of working.


Since that time we have been writin all this, with a few Heated conv bout India, going to US, settling there,... In short the "Brain Drain"( Don't worry, we'll include this in another post ), and some hilarious videos on Youtube.

We hope you like our first entry as bloggers, and support us as you guys have been doin in the past. We'll be desperately waitin for ur comments, ur suggestions, etc...
