Macbot
So I've been designing Macbot, and I can't wait to actually build this thing.
The "brain" will be a mac mini that is set up to automatically log in and connect to a computer-generated, password-protected network.
It will be controlled through another mac via the screen share abilities of the Mac
I am still working on the program (though I am almost done!!!), I call it ROS, which stands for Robotic Operating System (I know, original, huh?) even though ironically it is just a program
The basic functionalities are: "seeing" through a webcam, moving via motors, and speech, through speakers (which I forgot to add to the model)
All devices connected through USB
CAD model made in Blender 2.5
ROS made in xcode
I am entering this in the 13-18 year old category for the nrw robotics contest
