Are you sad to not be able to attend the FIRST Championships in St. Louis this weekend? Do you have friends who are there who may want to say hello to you? Do you want to see the pits, inspections, opening ceremonies, the VIP lunch area, and maybe some other cool places through the eyes of a telepresence robot?
Well, if you said "yes" to any of these wonderful things, let me introduce you to
Mandy the Robot.
She is our telepresence robot, ready to hang out, well, Google Hangout, with you. Her ability to hang with you all depends on how much bandwith we will be using through a 4G phone hotspot. We plan to use her mostly during times when matches aren't taking place, to make sure that we don't cause grief with the fields. Check out the above web page link for more directions on how to hang with Mandy, and for the times we will be doing this at the Championships in St. Louis during this coming weekend.
I hope that I can bring her with me to some robot inspections and also the FRC opening ceremonies.
We will be updating our AndyMark facebook page, and Mandy's product page with instructions and operation statuses.
Post below in this thread if you wish to try hanging out. You will need to get a Google+ account in order to do this, and also download a Google app. We'll have more instructions on the Mandy page.
See ya soon,
Andy Baker
