BITS, Pilani, along with ALTERA Corporation, USA was conducting an all India project design contest. It was announced in November 2006. Four of us, John Rupert, Pradeep, Anand and Me decided to participate. Our idea woz to design a Laser Video Projector.

We sent the proposal, got selected for the semifinals, n they were supposed to send us an FPGA programming kit, and design software. We got the design software, but the kit never came. We tried calling them, emailing them, but nothing worked.

Atleast we got selected for the semifinals.. We were among the top 107 teams in India.. Had to be happy with that.
