October is going to be a crazy month: we’ve got three scrimmages lined up. Mainly these are just to get us back in the game, and give the newbies a look at what they’re working for. The first scrimmage will be this Friday in the lab, with special guests Mitch Davis and Allen Delong. Then the next week we are showing off to the Trustees in Lancaster Lounge. Finally, at the end of the month, we’re going all out for a robot-extravaganza Saturday morning of Parents Weekend. Maybe with special guest BMills. We will be on the big floor in the Union; probably you’ll be able to watch from the webcam. While the first two are private scrimmages, anyone is welcome to attend the one on Parents Weekend. Hope to see you there!
About
Northern Bites is Bowdoin College’s robot team.
We compete in the Standard Platform League of RoboCup where teams consisting of Nao robots each play on a field of 7.4 m x 5.4 m. The robots operate fully autonomously; there is no external control by humans or computers.
We placed 2nd in the SPL in 2009, 3rd in the Aibo league in 2008, and were World Champions in 2007.
Sounds like a lot of moving of the fields. Good luck.
But for a team with “the fire” that is no big deal.
where’s the thing on homecoming weekend? i’ll do my best to stop in and say hi.
not to respond to myself, but i should also probably ask what time it is
It will be in Smith Union. Either 11 or 11:30.
How did the first scrimmage go? Any video?
Sorry to disappoint Ferd, but the public scrimmage will be on parents weekend Oct 27th, not homecoming (I think those are different at least). If your around campus though, you should definitely email me, and we can arrange for you to see the lab, and our mad bling
