Re: Programmers: I Have A Challenge For You

A wise mentor once told me:

The smart have a great understanding of the things they know.

The wise have a great understanding of the things they do not know.

David, as a teacher I would NEVER stop a student from pursuing a project as ambitious as this. Based on your other threads, you definitely strike me as a VERY smart young individual. My only word of advice is that I hope there can be a very wise (and hopefully smart!) mentor to provide some wisdom along the way. I guarantee it will be the difference between having the most hard-working, fulfilling and successful 6-weeks of your life, versus a few moments of undirected enthusiasm followed by sustained frustration, eventually giving up, and resorting to playing Madden on your hand-held.

If you can find that mentor and successfully work with them, I'll certainly give you an internet high-five regardless of whether you actually produce a functioning fully-autonomous robot...

Deal?
