Weather’s good and we’re free, so we decided to head over to Pulau Ubin for some off-road biking! Apparently this is the new off-road course built by NEA. It’s categorised into 1 Black Diamond and 2 Black Diamonds. Being novice, we hit the 1 Black Diamond track.

The course was actually not that tough, it’s the slippery mud (due to a slight shower earlier on) that made it harder and more dangerous. But it was fun! Oh, and they have a new skill course (look out for a sign that says “Pushpin”. It’s a short off-road course with many bumps, humps and turns. Good warm-up for the actual off-road course.

Tweenbots are human-dependent robots that navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Rolling at a constant speed, in a straight line, Tweenbots have a destination displayed on a flag, and rely on people they meet to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal.

Watching the video just gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling :)
