OK I confess. I watched a whole Craftsman Truck race and even part of an ARCA race. One of our local kart aces whom you may have heard of, Scott Speed, is running those two series, and I've been sucked in.
So here I am, n00b stock car fan. Going to Cup qualifying @ Sears Point on Friday. :)
F. the I.A. :P
X's Unheard Music covered by Juliana Hatfield.
My students built and programmed these for the Robofest competition. We won our regional and are advancing to the Worlds. It's built from Lego NXT hardware with a few aftermarket sensors. All the coding is done with RobotC. The game simulates a disaster rescue. The Kleenex boxes are rubble and the silver balls are injured victims. Ball locations, table dimensions, and table alignment are variable, so the robots have to be fairly smart.
