When the robots become autonomous, battling without human intervention, then I'll start showing real interest.
You'd probably be interested in RoboCup Soccer. The goal of this ambitious robotics project is to develop a team of fully autonomous robots that can defeat the human champion team of soccer by the year 2050.
Hi, I submitted this story and I wanted to thank all of you for the feedback. I expected the "sink or swim" reaction by those who have never struggled in a class. I personally struggled my first couple of semesters. If it wasn't for the emotional support I got, I would have quit. Everything eventually clicked, and now I'm doing well.
The CS dept at my university has its reasons for teaching Java for the first 3 semesters, so it's unlikely that will change any time soon.
Someone asked if this booklet was for CS majors or just anyone taking introductory courses. It's for anyone who finds it useful.
I found some good resources and tips in those pages and submitted them to my professor. I think the booklet will start out as a page, perhaps attached to intro course syllabi, and would progress from there.

Another excellent tip. You definitely have a new fan. Thanks.
Thanks. My professor likes the idea of student teachers a lot. We may be able to do something like this at my school.
