SUMMARY:Robotics hackathon
DESCRIPTION:What is the most efficient way for a geek to have lots of fun with other fellow geeks while making awesome robots? It is probably participating in the Cloud Robotics Hackathon, where you get to hack for a full weekend on robots in order to make them do cool and useful stuff using the power of cloud-computing.
Getting started in robotics may seem intimidating but fear not. If you have the basic notions of programming, and understand that an actuator moves things and a sensor senses the environment, then you can start hacking robots right away.
Tools:
Python
ROS
Android
Arduino
MyRobots.com
Of course, the use of these languages and frameworks is not mandatory and may others could be used including Urbi, MS RDS, Java, C (in all of it’s flavours), Perl, Ruby, .Net, and many more.
You'll need to bring your own laptop for hacking, but we'll have more than one robot per team, a MakerBot (3D printer) , Food and coffee ,plenty of power and WiFi .
