FYP Updates. Birth of the Black Box ATUGV

Sianz.. got alot to blog about sia.. but sometimes it's lazy.. but sometimes it's no time... haha Well.. anyway... updates on my FYPPresenting to you guys for the first time. The Black Box ATUGV (All-Terrain UGV). Hmmm i told my friends that i named it black box for obvious reasons... lol... and then hope that it will be like the black box in the Airplanes... which are design to survive crashes.

But... but... then my friend told me that... black box in planes are not black in colour... in fact they are red in colour... lol... i think it is so that it is easier to idenitify them.

So... why is the Airplane's Black Box called Black Box????

Answer: Black box is a technical term for a device, system or object when it is viewed in terms of its input, output and transfer characteristics without any knowledge required of its internal workings.

In aviation, the term "black box" refers to the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder responsible for recording all communications in the cockpit of an aircraft in flight.
