An engineering student's lament

Name: Anonymous 2008-04-03 14:12

Guys, guys,

I am a senior about to graduate with a degree in Computer Engineering, and my final team project is a robot.

However, my team has no fucking clue how to do anything.

First problem... multi-threading the sensory input, everyone either said they don't know how to code at such a low level, or they don't know how to do any multi-threaded code, so I volunteered to do both.

Second problem... networking to a controlling server, everyone said that they did not know how to do networking code, so... I volunteered again.

Third problem... GUI, no one wants to work on the GUI for the server because it is difficult... Guess what happens?

Fourth problem... Logic... detecting the angle of objects requires an intense amount of trigonometry... so...

So what is there to do after wiring the embedded devices, programming the devices, managing the flow of information from them, controlling said flow in multiple threads, processing information in some AI, sending and receiving information with a server and making the server user friendly?

I don't know whether I should rage or baw.

>>25
There is a peer evaluation at the end where you give people a rating between 0 and 100, and this rating is added to the ratings of the other members and used in the multiplicand for the final score given unto each member... That is my only recourse.

>>11
We tried... and at the eleventh hour and the eleventh say of the mid-term budget proposal write up... more than half didn't do everything that needed to be done... I had to make up entire sections of the documentation.

As for the presentations... same thing happened again.
