MIT Class of 2019 RD Discussion Thread

My first college rejection is due at 9:26 AM on Pi day! :neutral_face: Maybe I’ll go make some Oreo pie to make myself feel better–nothing beats my sister’s Oreo pie recipe.

@sjsprint Me too! I can’t wait!

I am going to take my drivers test right after MIT decision. Don’t know how that is going to affect my performance ^:)^

Six more hours.

3 hours…

Damn it, why did I apply here? I just set myself up for failure. :-w

I’m really depending on my maker portfolio.

@Trexter

What did you do for your maker portfolio?

wow, 1 h and 26 mins!!!

@StevenToCollege‌

I created a fully autonomous people finding quadcopter that is able to produce a 3d map of its environment while searching for a face. Once a face is found the image is sent to my laptop.

I created it completely from scratch. 70% of the frame was designed and 3d printed by me, all of the code was written by me, and I developed a new algorithm in the process which filters sonar data using z axis acceleration data.

Most importantly, I was completely self taught.

T minus 1 hour

@trexter that is amazing! I mean i thought my maker profile was pretty good(motion controlled games and more), but your project blows mine away

@Trexter‌ Yeah, that sounds really cool

was anyone else expecting more people to be on this thread?

the void before the plunge

t minus 1 minute
