Open Source Terminators?

November 15th, 2008

I saw this robot on sale the other day at Costco – it’s programmed for surveillance, equipped with all sorts of features designed for annoying siblings.  How tough would it be to reprogram the primary operation of this from surveillance to “termination?”

Designing autonomous H-K machines sounds way more fun than making LOB apps. :)   Any good .NET-centric toolkits for doing that sort of thing?  If not maybe I should start one…

    How about .net micro framework? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/embedded/bb267253.aspx

    I think there is a contest going right now too… your robot could win you 75k and help to start your own robot biz :)

    Yeah, was looking at this earlier: http://www.robochamps.com/rc/Info/League/TheDetails.aspx#Challenge3

    looks like fun. Work schedule probably won’t allow me to work towards a contest, unfortunately.
