MindStorms Madness

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the liberal-arts dept.

Our robots were made/programmed/run on Lego MindStorms (with LegOS). Tres funky results include probabilistic sonar mappers, a bipedal walker, and a bartender. The final exhibition page is here and contains the aforementioned funky results."

    From the course intro page:

    The only requirement for the project is that it be "extremely cool"


    This is the sort of academic requirement I can live with!

    I'm not sure, but I think the use of the word "funky" was banned internationally in 1984. Unless you're into crafts with beads and rope, I'd suggest avoiding the word.

    Also, prefixing it with "Tres" is seriously fucked.

      Because /. has its finger on the pulse of what's cool on the street.
