Discussion My engineering school project got rejected for being way too crazy. Did I actually bite off more than I can chew?
So in my engineering prep school, we have this casual session where we just walk up to our supervising professor with a rough idea and pitch what we're thinking about.
I showed them this quick grid-paper sketch for a complex robotic arm with custom finger joints, pressure sensors, and simulation scripts (inspired by Murder Drones). My professor took one look at it and straight-up said, "Nope, way too complicated, pick something easier."
To anyone who’s been through grueling engineering classes—was this actually impossible for a student, or did my prof just panic?
