College activty sign up has rered its ugly head again, and this time I’ve decided not to do yoga. Instead, Robotics. Student built, personally designed, Robot War-esque robots. Except these ones run off the user programed AI. No sweaty middle aged men with remote controls here.
The whole thing is run by the University Of Southampton, so it should be all top of the line, super nerd stuff. Infact, the robot runs on open source software, and can be programmed in Python. Import stuff.do and all that.
My friend Sam (website offline at the moment) did it last year, and said it was pretty good. So I’m all up for that if Sam says its good. Apparently its mainly chosen as an activity by many of the hardcore maths students and the eccentric programmers. Character filled it will be.
The first meeting is on Thursday, but until then, heres a clip from the brilliant Spaced…
That sounds like it’d be very fun. I signed up for that sort of club here, but nothing has happened yet with it.
