[az100eletronics12]

How do you program your robot on the computer? A usb port? Sorry, i am a noob.

[amenezes13]

@az100eletronics12 yea, the robots all have a common main part, which contains memory that can store programmed behavior...this can be connected to a computer via usb

[GHustlas]

Would python be able to code the behaviors and stuff like that?

[amenezes13]

@GHustlas if python is supported by mindstorms now (which i'm not sure it is), then the behavior could certainly be coded in python

[StuckInNeutral24]

the one with 4 wheels looks like its pukings its insides or somthn lol

[ForwardIntent]

o shit his guts were coming out

[Mrockon]

while(true)  turnAround();

[zapodos01]

Did you guys use servos?

[amenezes13]

@zapodos01 nope

[ig1228]

Your robot is 1 hit KO.

[ryanrockz2010]

Ummm are they remote vontrol

[amenezes13]

@ryanrockz2010 no, their behavior is based on the AI algorithm we coded in java

[bladebreaker10]

hey 2 things one what makes the robot work like the motor what is it cuz ive seen it and dnt remeber what its called and 2 0:15 ur robot was craping parts lol

[amenezes13]

@bladebreaker10 lego mindstorms...and yes, this was part of the intended design.

[ravenjade35]

barbaric, but cool!

[TheBuckley98]

You must be pretty bright to make that that's cool

[jadzn1]

what caused it to fall apart?

[amenezes13]

we designed parts of it to dislodge easily in order to incapacitate other bots, but, alas, this plan backfired

[jadzn1]

ooh ok i understand now

[smellmyskunk2]

PIYATA!

[Zim804]

it just fall apart lol

[cedyboy1995]

legos?

[amenezes13]

using java to program their behavior

[ShadoManiac]

High school? College?

[amenezes13]

college...specifically, suny geneseo

[coldcereal123]

The trick is to make it simple..like a rammer...or a flipper

[amenezes13]

we figured a passive mode of destruction was best...unfortunately, it lead to our own robot's demise

[Scorge120]

what happend to that robot who was like spewing pieces everywhere? how did that happen? :S

[amenezes13]

that was by design!

[amenezes13]

mine was the one that dumped pieces everywhere...our master plan of jamming other bots backfired on us...we made these bots using the legos mindstorms kits

[ochayedonald]

Haha i thought it was falling apart!

[bunfun4444]

what did you make your bots out of

[ochayedonald]

Lego technic/mindstorms I believe

[amenezes13]

yea...it was an older version of the lego mindstorms kit using the "lejos" java software environment.

[bunfun4444]

which one did you build

[amenezes13]

yea it was a lot of fun...especially for a level 300 CSCI class.

[HammondB200]

That looks like fun
