#RobotJoy

[robautoproject]

Hi Everyone - we're working on a community driven 'joyful' robot swarm as part of the National #HourOfCode and Boulder, CO's Computer Science Education Week. We're utilizing the BiBli OS running on a Raspberry Pi 3 and we're looking for anyone who might like to participate. Think a big showcase of robots each doing something funny, joyful and or synchronized. We have some free hardware more info http://www.robauto.co/robot-joy-to-the-world-2016/.

What: A community challenge to create an inspiring, hilarious swarm of social robots built by and for area students and makers. Students will design and build their own personal robot and program it with a message of hope, humor or joy for the world.

When: Students will have the option to present their creation at the Boulder Public Library on 12/10/2016 at 10am.

Where: The swarm will be featured as part of Boulder’s Computer Science Education Week December 4-10.

Why: Each robot will contribute to autism research, teach the basics of robotics and inspire, educate and bring joy to the local community.

What on Earth is "BiBli OS"?

Why would anyone need one?

How come a google search does not help answer these questions?

Is this SPAM ?

[Jednorozec]

I think that it's spam and eggs with a corned beef hash tag.

[mattmiller]

Its not spam - the person has tried many things over the years to get some traction on their project but it never seems to take off

I think they have an idea but are unable to communicate it clearly to people and it comes across as being a bit weird - but its not spam

Hi Everyone - we're working on a community driven 'joyful' robot swarm

You covered what, when, where, why.

You forgot #WHO: http://www.robauto.co/about-us/

Funky looking robots. Quite nice.

But I'd need $150.00 for the starter kit and $375.00 for the "brain". Total 525 dollars.

Is that a letter box or bird house for a head?
Interesting use of PVC tubing, but why laser cut?
Make the whole frame from PVC tubing and fittings available from any good hardware store.

I would have said the OP was non-english with a typical Asian translation problem.
"Robotjoy" Happy robots? Coming from Boulder Colorado?

School hols here now, might see if I can make one with the kid just from bits lying around.
