Support In Spore

The infrastructure here is mind blowing .. We cant even compare it to our premier insti's.. It was yesterday afternoon when our professor sent two students to meet us.They were just ninth grade students.They were getting support from the NUS through some Science Devp program.Though he was bit nervous to us , he had done some imageprocessing in matlab.He had used two cameras to capture the live images of human, and used it to predict the stability of a person.He was explaining all the Kd,Kp etc that we read atleast only in the second yr of UG. I couldnt believe that a 9th grader was doing all this in this place , all the equipments and the guidance was provided by the varsity.See the support one gets if he has interest alone.

And more than that , prof took us to the singapore polytechnic; the campus by itself didnt give a feel it was a poly(like ours);and moreover most of the rooms were airconditioned ( too much for an polytechnic ).The students there were more better..A guy (Mingdo) there was too ambitious ; he planned to develop a serpentine robot and the funding for that was a whooping 15000 singapore dollar..God !!! we get only a paltry5k for even our FYP. I couldnt digest this for long time until i realized that we were living in INDIA , with so much problems to concentrate upo , this was not feasible !!!
