Yalla, get yourself guys together if you want a workshop. The space is ready. Lets agree on the time, attendees and we are set!

ok great!

On a normal schedule What day and time can you fit us in?
Location?

I will be posting a new post later.
rule: any robot without a linux core is a toy.
edit: an RC toy
kim wroterule: any robot without a linux core is a toy.

You are right :) Nasa sent a toy to mars. Its a toy just because it does not have a "Linux core".
The robot below is built with NXT :D



On more serious and useful note. We will get this workshop thing started when im back! In the meantime Get yourselves together and decide on what we should focus on.
Look at this very expensive toy
Hehe, me and Jad had the same snarky comment to make.
Anyway, where's all the hate for toys coming from!
Nice, look at this list of "toys".
Well i don't want to change the robot topic BUT
That issue of toys,toys,toys,.... need to be solved
I think we are under estimating toys , because we learn through toys , i mean i see every thing around me as toys , even humans sometimes :-p.
Dealing with things as toys give me the feeling of happiness , the Motivation,...
seeing that dumb motor , screen , cpu , .... doing exactly as i planned to is always like the big prize for me.
any way don't bother back to real life :-( .

you're wrong Mr Jad, NASA mars rover never been built on NXT, ill explain something you didnt got about NXT software it a >>>>lego<<<< check this link http://mindstorms.lego.com/en-us/whatisnxt/default.aspx
"the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Software is powered by NI LabVIEW" the NI LabVIEW is the sofware used by NASA and all scientists over the world not the NXT. can you imagine that NASA scientists monitoring their rover using NXT or a variation of it like this:


nb:Linux isn't necessary if you can build your own operating system for the Robot like NASA did, for me i prefer linux
@ Kim I think he was joking about the NXT been in the NASA robot :-) .
JAD says

LOL @Kim !!

Seriously ? He was joking dude.
LabVIEW not NXT you idiot! Learn proper English then go grab some common sense. Maybe after you do these 2 things you can argue with me. People like the bozo above make me sick.
I think you should learn how to read first, and then you should learn how to to write proper english. Read that paragraph again, NXT software is powered by LabVIEW which was used for helping to control the NASA Pathfinder eploration....
J4D wroteIn the "bot" i think i was trying Bluetooth control.
see Bluetooth control for a bot! what the heck?! is this a kind of sorcery?? a Bluetooth control can be more useful for a vibrator:P, we need worldwide control or something farther like NASA did
Peace J4d im just kidding i mean no offense seriously we can meet and ill teach you some serious robotic skills
If I was your father, of any of the three of you, I would have been very disappointed.
m0ei wroteNXT software is powered by LabVIEW which was used for helping to control the NASA Pathfinder eploration....
maybe my english is worst than j4d rc toys i admit that, but where did you quote that? i need reference please
Well, sometimes you regret talking to someone when you discover his dumb
and i regret that i've talked to that QiM
@Kim, stop bashing other people work, I'm purely 100% sure that you don't know 5% of what J4D knows in robotics.

About the reference, it's from the screenshot you took..... Read again the last paragraph, it's about Labview not NXT. They are only saying that NXT software is powered by LabVIEW and then explaining what LabVIEW is used for.

Here's another reference http://www.ni.com/white-paper/8536/en
Since its introduction in 1986, LabVIEW has become the industry standard tool for measurement and control applications. With more than 25,000 industrial users, LabVIEW has been used in different kinds of applications from industrial automation to teaching concepts in schools. With its roots in test and measurement, LabVIEW is used to design, control, and test consumer products and systems such as MP3 and DVD players, cell phones, and vehicle air bag safety systems. Applications include helping to control the NASA Mars Pathfinder exploration to testing the Microsoft Xbox gaming consoles. LabVIEW is an open platform that has enabled an ecosystem to be developed including:
