mbed Robot Swarm!
I just heard from Lucas that the mbed Robot Workshop featured in the Argentinian Symposium on Embedded Systems (SASE) will be running again!
Whilst we're waiting on details, here is what happened the first time...
The Workshop
As part of SASE, Lucas, Joaquín and "Club de Robótica" put on a workshop to introduce embedded programming using mbed-powered line following robots. In 9 hours, attendees went from getting hold of the mbed for the first time and learning the basics to programming the control and algorithms for their robots.
These robots were custom designs built by the team; and there was 25 of them! Thats a lot of building...
Building the Cars
And incase you were wondering, here's what a swarm of them looks like!
The Race
The climax was a race where they we're timed on a line following course...

This was a really successful event, so we'll update you as soon as we get a date for the next one!
