Hi all, Just a quick update on our progress- the deadline for getting in a Maker proposal was today! (you got 5 1/4 hours so get going!)
>From the Backstage / R&D area we're sending a team of between six and eight people, including Ian, Rain and myself, plus some of the guys from Kingswood Warren (if you came to Mashed you may have met a few of them). Our plan is to 'do something with weather data and little robots and maybe some sort of RFID', and if any 'backstagers' are intertested in coming along to the event we'd be chuffed to bits to catch up and even use a bot of your expertise. It's lilely we may need a bit of a hand munging feeds, writing control routines for the robots or even just hacking the R/C toys we plan to use as chassis for the robots, so do come along if you can. There'll be a proper post on the Backstage blog ina day or so, I'm blogging at Reithian, and at some point in th enext week BBCWeatherbot.com should go live!
