Rules for robotic club sumo

Submitted by James Dilwyn Devine on Wed, 01/02/2012 - 19:56

Rule 1 - Outside of robot sumo club nobody speaks about robot sumo club.
Rule 2 - The first you come to robot sumo club you MUST fight.
Rule 3 - The combat ground is an A0 sheet of paper with a thick black oval printed on it.
Rule 4 - Each round lasts a maximum of 2 minutes. If nobody has won the match is a draw.
Rule 5 - Each match is three rounds, if there is no winner then it becomes sudden death, with rounds of two minutes until there is a winner.
Rule 6 - First one out of the ring loses.

Are we playing robots today?

Hi everyone,

Are we still go for our robot sumo competition today?
If so I have prepared a sumo mat, which I'll print using the A0 laser in the basement of my building. See the link for the pdf...

Wednesday meeting

Submitted by Morag Hickman on Tue, 24/01/2012 - 12:21

Hi Everyone,

I've taken the liberty of creating a newsletter tool on the website, and subscribing your email addresses to a list for organising meetups.

We can make it so any signed-in member can send a message to one of the mailing lists, and you subscribe (on the main page) to whichever sectors you want to follow. This could include specific project groups. All messages sent are archived on the site and will be easily findable, and can be commented on.

Yeah, it's not actually a mailinglist, if anyone knows of a better way of doing this... well volunteered!

Today we played with the Android for the first time (Samsung Galaxy mini S5570), it is now rooted and network unlocked. We have the Android SDK and the netbeans IDE and some code that takes automatic photos of ducks. We had steak and fries for dinner and a few beers. So far so good.
