LinuxTag 2008
From FREEDROIDZ
freedroidz booth @ Linuxtag 2008
Linuxtag 2008 was a great success. Many people were interested in our project so we could spread the idea of Freedroidz.
Espacially the so called Gartenkralle was fun for everyone. In connection with the Wiimote as remote control, the robot was pretty easy to control. On the picture below, you can see the ramp which wasn't a big barrier for the "sixwheeler".
freedroidz in television
The TV-channel 3sat made a short report about Linuxtag 2008. They also mentioned Freedroidz @ School. You can watch the report at the official onlinestream.
Call for Robots
As the most of you know , we will show our freedroidz at Linuxtag 2008 in Berlin. Because we dont want to show the same stuff than last year and the last event we made (like froscon), we want to start now with our preparations.
As announced we made some robo-days at tarent in Bonn, usually we meet on friday evening.
In addition we need your creative input for possible freedroidz characters, especially reagarding their behaviour (i.e. "i like to have a freedroid which follows me"). We are looking for realistic suggestions, because we have limited ressources (and sensors:-)):
- supersonic
- sound
- contact
- light
Which means, "a freedroid recognizing me a making a happy beep" is not realistic.
If you already are project member, please post your suggestions here: [[1]] Or use the freedroidz-robos mailinglist [[2]]
Hint: We can control 3 motors, 2 of them are usually busy for driving, but we are not interest in driving freedroidz only.
