Re: The story of little printf

For those of you wondering, the Little Printf is a take off of the book (and soon to be movie) "The Little Prince"

Wikipedia entry for the Little Prince and to be complete the IMDB entry

It's the same plot line, a little boy meets lots of people and asks questions about what they do.

The Little Prince book is ~60 pages, so it's a solid 30 minute read. There is even a "Cliff Notes" version out, since lots of schools use this text in class.

For the Canadian readers, the copyright on the book has expired. You can get a PDF copy here. The book is still has an active copyright in the USA and France (expires 2035), so you'll need to get the book from Amazon or the Library if you live in one of those two locations. (For most other countries that are FRC members, the copyright has most likely expired in your country. Your country specific Google is your friend.

Maybe reading the two pieces will ignite some of our more prolific authors and artists to write "The Little Roboteer". I can see chapters about mechanical, electrical, programming, tactics, drivers, CAD engineers, fund raisers, out reach leaders, mentors, team support (food, logistics), event volunteers, etc. All of which have a different view on what robotics is.

Draw me a sheep.
