Little Robots in your pants

“In the future, maybe, but not yet

Read the whole exchange; those of you who have an understanding of what "nanotechnology" is are sure to get a chuckle. Or at least a groan.”

“Hate to debunk you bit, but snopes says Popular Science never called Dockers.”

“Har har. Nice try.”

“There will be others.”

“damn... I didn't know Violin ran Snopes from his Tripod site....”

“Almost got me.”

“I have placed your site in my Restricted Sites list, with the security up to maximum. So even if I do click on it, it does nothing, lol....”

“I'm honored.”

“I've been taking a course in Engineering Systems for Interoperability the past couple of days, finishing tomorrow.
I'm enjoying it like crazy.

As part of the class, we are building a smart robot that has to work with 3 other group's robots to pass 3 rubber balls thru an obstacle course. Each team has to move thru a certain section and pass off the balls to the next robot over various obstacles. Once programed, we can't touch the robot again. It has to work on it's on and interface with the other robots. We are building them with toy legos parts and a programable controller.

Fun, fun, fun, and I'm getting paid to learn! ;-)”

“that does sound fun”

“That does sound cool!”

“my son is in a program in school called lego robotics.

he loves anything
Engineering.”

“All finished.
Our group and the other 3 groups did a good job. All the robots worked and worked together well.
The instructor timed the robots and our robots were up there with the very best. We ranked 4th from the top out of about 30 classes.

The instructor looked a whole lot like chili36. When I first walked in Wed., I thought "what the he11 is chili doing here?" ;-)

We all have our doubles.”
