Tuesday, March 10: Today’s diversion from work was the ME 72 competition at the Millikan pond. Undergraduates built these tele-operated amphibious robots whose task is recovering ping-pong balls from the water.
The competition is not particularly exciting but, as usual, there are camera crews from the local TV stations; Caltech’s PR people are good at hyping this kind of events.
Joel Burdick was commenting the event — I’ve been told, multiple times, that he has a sexy voice.
Of course, some professors are so busy that they have to watch the competition and read a paper at the same time:
That is the opinion of multiple female grad students (of course, I cannot name my sources).
That guy’s a grad student?! I hope I’ll look younger than that after five years.
haha. Where’d you hear he has a sexy voice? Also, that guy’s not a prof, he’s a grad student :)
