to have 1 telling me that my english is bad enough.. but to have another rub it in is rather rude.. it is disrespectful and annoying.. n i thought i was childish..
Apology accepted. Let me rub it in some more..
Some years ago, the Chinese invaded India with their Cheap RC cars. Some thoughtful soul donated 20 of these to our school. The kids made short-work of these and in quick time, most of them conked out. The cars, I mean!
When asked, I agreed to repair, on condition: I get to work with them and the kids!
The result? CHAOS.
SYSTEM A
1 Master remote ( 27MHz TX), 5 Slave cars ( 27MHz RX )
The Slaves did everything together, by the Masters commands. This was quite interesting and a big hit with the Adults. The kids did'nt count, since they are always hooked, by default.
Imagine 5 cars of different shapes doing Fwd, Rev, FwdL, RevR etc.,.......Together in the concrete quadrangle!
System B
Obstacle sensors connected to a 27MHz TX buttons, 1 TX on each car.
Now , The cars did what the Master wanted + did what ANY ONE of the cars did too!!
All cars are going break-neck and suddenly veer to the right, or skid RevL or something like that, depending on the particular car what finds an obstacle...
This, was even more a hit.
....Except for some confusion regarding Master over-ride.
System C
After some other combos, the kids got bored of this, as usual. Some smart alec kid wanted assorted lights/ sound/ speech and the cars be camouflaged as demons, dance etc., and the whole troop echoed in cacophony.
I introduced them to
F84s and Nigel. Then,
ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE !!!
