Have you thought about approaching any of the local high school or middle
school robotics clubs? I know there are plenty on this side of the bay, I
assume east bay schools also have some. Possibly some cool outreach
opportunities and getting more kids involved in sudokids?

You guys are awesome.

it may come as no surprise that i support the idea of a sudo kids robotics
night 100%. i think we should ask the kids what project they'd like to do.
hol, if you're around next tuesday, maybe you can introduce the idea to the
kids and together we can frame a realistic project?

Hi Folks,
Last night went pretty well overall despite not getting my beer machine
operational due to disappointing answers to such questions as "how many
power cords into power strips into power cords can I connect?" and the ever
popular "will the plumbing leak where you least expect it?" We did have
some newbies there working on a robotics project for a school assignment
and let me tell you, there's something about the smell of burning servos
that just can't be beat. Overall their objective is to use machine vision
as a feedback for actuators, seems pretty cool. Rabbit and I put together
some power hardware to map 4D visualizations to some addressable LED strips
for a burning man project. We did a little probing of the door raspi but
couldn't get a rise out of the relevant GPIO pin so I defer to the original
system designers, but volunteer to fabricate a plug-in circuit board to
streamline the component layout. Also got some soldering assistance from
one of the sudo kids who gravitated t
oward the table full of wires.
This final point lead me to an idea - I'd like to incorporate a sudokids
robotics event once a month. Open to any and all ideas as to how this
would play out, but at minimum we could have them build and compete remote
controlled rovers, in both co-op and free for all modes of course. Let me
know if you have any ideas for kid-friendly microcontroller projects. I'd
like to develop this idea and start mid-september.
Happy Hacking,
hol
