Re: Microsoft does Robotics

While a universal platform is a good goal, isn't the differences between controllers where their power comes from?

I'm watching that hour-long intro.

Within the first 10 minutes:
  • It's sounding like a good way to introduce hard-to-find bugs: deadlocks, race conditions, and any other concurrent bugs
  • Managed code = .NET; if it has the performance of .NET 2.0, I'm not touching this.
  • Simulator = lots of work while every team creates a realistic, accurate, high-res model of their robot
  • JScript, VBScript = I'm thinking running Microsoft OS (likely based on NT) on your robot

Did we mention that our current processor runs only at 20MHz? (Compared to the current 4000 MHz.)

Of course, it could be that it compiles to .NET (CLR) and converts that to the local machine language. (Much like JIT compiling.) Maybe this is an effort by Mircrosoft to show the versatility of .NET.

Nice lawnmower, though. (The coffee maker is a LIDAR unit, BTW.)

I'm willing to bet that this is going to be about as useful to us as CoreChart (that graphical assembler).

EDIT: At about 16:03, notice the Windows Live logo.
