Distance Sensing at the Hardware Meetup

Brian has built a pixelbot test rig which is very impressive It was even playing music

We had our hardware meetup at Hull Library Makerspace today. Folks are building robots and they are starting to move around and do stuff (the robots that is, not the folks). Today we added some distance sensors and had them reacting to their environment a bit, which was rather nice.

Richard had his robot making noises which were definitely not music

If you want to take part, and maybe build a robot of your own, you are welcome to come along. We meet on Wednesday afternoon, starting around 5:00pm and then going on until 7:00pm. We tend to meet up every two weeks, the next meetup is on Wednesday 1st of May (apologies - an earlier version of this blog post said 24th April which is wrong). The robot we are building is the Hull Pixelbot. You can find out more about it here.
