Re: Microsoft does Robotics

So I finished that intro. Here's what I noticed.
  • Windows logo on NXT
  • IE required (no Gecko goodness)
  • Jumping boxes in simulator
  • Requirements of a PC to run this
  • This does fulfil some of my goals for FURC
  • The 1 female shows up in the last 8 minutes and is only around for 4 (in an 58 minute introduction)
  • Not a single CMUCam, but plenty of LIDAR boxes. (And guess which is cheaper)
  • Can handle many platforms of robots, but only 1 platform of PC
  • .NET through and through
  • A PC required???

"2 lines" to express lots of complex information. Sounds like a good way to overload one's brain.

How many times will you hear "Oh. I guess the simulation was wrong."?

Much like CoreChart, this has potential but the jury's still out.
