Frankentosh: Building Robots using Mac OS X
 
   
  • Robocode
    • We're going to switch gears a little and look at another "robotics system", Robocode
    • A *lot* of the same concepts are behind it as are behind Mindstorms
    • Robocode is a game intended as a way to be a entry point for learning Java
    • But, actually, it's pretty good for a *large* audience;
      • It allows all of Java 2 to be used to build the robots, so complex structures fit in well
      • The best robots are quite advanced, in scope, breadth of detail & inventiveness
