Tic-Tac-Toe-Playing LEGO Robot

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the step-right-up dept.

David Primo writes "TechEBlog has an interesting article on a Tic-Tac-Toe-playing LEGO robot named WOPR — created by Bryan Bonahoom. It uses built-in sensors and a custom program to challenge humans. Video included. From the article: 'The NXT display also enables the inclusion of instructions to the user on resetting the robot. This allowed WOPR to run unattended.'"

  1. The robot missed by Augusto · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Seems like it need to be tweaked so that it "drops" it's own pieces closer to the "board", as you can see at the end that one of the pieces misses it's spot.

    Pretty neat, would have liked to see if the robot can actually win, if he can start (and the human's first move is not the center spot)
