Summer of Learning

CS2N is excited to announce that our official Robotics Summer of Learning page is live! The 2013 Robotics Summer of Learning (RSOL) is sponsored by Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Academy and uses the Computer Science Student Network (CS2N) to host all trainings, with additional resources provided by Robomatter Inc. and other organizations. This summer, students and teachers will have the opportunity to develop programming skills, earn certifications, and win prizes. Software, training, certifications, and the competitions will all be hosted online for free through the Robotics Academy.

Telepresense and BENGI

It was fun working in the Electronics lab around BENGI I&II and with Telepresences and  NXT Mindstorms. Thank you Jason for everything.

Estonia’s plan to get 6 year olds coding is a stroke of genius

why-estonia-has-started-teaching-its-first-graders-to-code

learn to code se we can code to learn

He said this!!!!!
In  a Ted talk see below, Mitchel said just like

"we learn to read so we can then read to learn" also

"we can learn to code so we can code to learn" ... really really cool .

Mitchel Resnick is LEGO Papert Professor of Learning Research, Director of the Okawa Center, and Director of the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab.^[1] 

Here is a ted talk

Contact at last, first time seeing cGO © 2013 Jason Berry sumo fight !!!!!!!!

Well, After figuring out how to write a code for a continuous spin on motors, it is a time to add some sensors to make it more interesting!

The final goal is put two Robots on a black line circle floor and place some boxes in that circle. The two robots should push the boxes outside the circle. During that, They can fight to kick each other out the circle! (sumo fight).

Lets see how it turns out in testing! (the c language codes included)

Telepresence Robot + NXT mindstorms

After getting succeed on testing NXT with 2 small servos, It is a time on testing that on a big device 

like Telepresence ! 

 

 As you can see, we are using:

NXT, DC convertor, two 12V batteries, 2 wheels servos and

a designed board to connect the PWM signal to the servos

Testing servos with NXT

Thanks to Jason, He brought me two servos and 8 Channel Servo Controller for NXT to test them

with the NXT mindstorms and ROBOTC

 The two servos
