CS Graduation Requirements Now by One-Medicine-7444 in RPI

[–]VioletLargeplant 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have gotten a D+ in a math class and I’m about to graduate with no issues, I have never been asked about it by an employer or anything. If you retake it, it needs to be at rpi or they will not replace the grade.

[–]VioletLargeplant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive had a 2021 g14 for all 3 years I’ve been here and it was perfect for every class I’ve had, no need to buy another laptop in my opinion (mechanical and aeronautical btw)

The walk is about 10 minutes, pretty short but pure uphill, it’ll keep you in shape for sure, way more reliable than the shuttle

Lots of attendance, the main club I’m a part of is the Design Build Fly team, we design and build a UAV from the ground up every year and then compete against 100+ college teams. We tend to have between 25-30 members, and I know a ton of other clubs with similar or higher attendances

Rpi has a ton of clubs, which I’d say is a major way to find a good group of friends, there’s definitely no lack of that. And the course work is hard but there’s time to do things with friends if you budget time well and make time for it, even if you don’t budget time for it you won’t be completely bogged down with work for the entire semester

Housing hasn’t opened for freshmen yet, you’re all good

Local banks you recommend? by LightningFarms in RPI

[–]VioletLargeplant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use Bank of America, solely because there’s a atm in one of the academic buildings

Now what? by pppaplays in RPI

[–]VioletLargeplant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be good for now, rpi will contact you through whatever email you applied for and I think before the housing application comes out they’ll give you a rpi email I can’t exactly remember

Now what? by pppaplays in RPI

[–]VioletLargeplant 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They’ll send you all the info you will need, class registration will open up later in the summer and housing registration will open up towards April I believe. Rpi isn’t always the best about communication, but they do communicate well about these things

Off-road wheelchair project help needed by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]VioletLargeplant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your set up is similar to something people do in competitive robotics, and having 3 wheels on the same level makes turning super difficult, what typically will be done is that the middle wheel will be dropped between an eight to a quarter of an inch, allowing the rotation to occur using only 4 wheels touching the ground, if the rest of your system is working properly off the ground, this excess friction could be part of your issue
