On a less serious note, there is another hurricane headed this way! Noooooo! (goes and cries). It&#8217;s a mean one too: cat 5 with 165 mph sustained winds. That means there&#8217;s got to be over 200 mph gusts! Whew! I&#8217;m glad it&#8217;s not headed straight for us, but pray for the people in it&#8217;s path. Today our whole UCF Robotics Lab went down to the Orlando Science Center with our gears and demos and setup an exhibition. I got very little sleep last night because I was working on a sample program that would identify ping-pong balls or other stuff in real time. After fooling around, I found out that one version picked up skin in addition to ping-pongs. Make the background black, and you get this really strange looking image of your head, arms and hands! All the little kids loved the Robotic Connect 4 game, and we also had the vision demo (mine), the SICK laser demo (a plot of the nearest objects in a 180 degree sweep in realtime (think radar)), and some of our robots.
