"As you move in your chair and rotate your head small amounts : your game-view will precisely correspond. You never
I have never used any of the Acroname microcontroller, but after seeing this Robot Fetching demonstration I am impressed by its power (and the skill of mw0868). "This robot uses an Acroname CMUcam2+ for its eye and an Acroname BrainStem GP 2.0 microcontroller for its brain. It chases down a bright pink ball (which I made with a styrofoam ball and neon pink acrylic paint), grabs it with its

"Each swimmer wears a GPS unit which can be activated should the swimmer become
