Had a Blast - Last Blog Post for a while Summer 2013 7-29-2013


When I joined RCOS 6 years ago, little did I know it will have such a profound effect on me. Being associated with such bright, helpful and motivated students was the highlight of my professional career (on n years) at RPI. The diversity, originality and creativity among students have to be seen to be believed.

The hackathon at The center of gravity was a blast. Here was a octocopter demo in Uncle Sam Garage


I could cite achievements and other noteworthy adaptation of our software in various places. If I were to do that, I would be yet another bean counter! The peer mentors, group decisions about etiquette, healthy competition among projects were some of the reasons RCOS made a difference in every one.

We all have to thank Mr. Sean O'Sullivan '85 for his generous donation that made all this possible. I am also thankful to Dr. Raj Raghuram, Dr. TV Raman and Dr. Robert Ingalls who encouraged me when I had doubts. Dr. Janaki Krishnamoorthy and Raju Krishnamoorthy kept me sane (or tried their best) when I was going the deep end. Support by the administrative staff is also highly appreciated.

Hope to return to see a better and improved RCOS in Fall 2014.
Memories! Memories!! Memories!!!
