jojomojoJust showed off my robot alongside a bunch of others brought by the local robot club. Mine definitely looks kind of rednecky compared to the others, seeing as it's held together with velcro and electrical tape and the others were either commercial or made of actual hard plastic, screws and properly mounted circuit boards, but people seemed to like it nonetheless. I'm taking it to the robot club on Wednesday so I can talk about how it does stereo vision. Should be fun; I just wish I could find the deadlocking bug that causes said vision to pack up and freeze after a few minutes.
There's quite a bit of interesting tech stuff here, actually, more than I thought there would be - mostly space-related, since there's a guy from NASA here as a guest of honour. It was interesting to see a talk on the next Martian rover and think I've done some sort-of-similar stuff myself on a smaller scale.
