==== Hacking Wednesdays ==== If you want to try your robot in this weekends race and have yet to finish it or build one, dont fear, come down to XinCheJian tonight and buy a R/C car like rickys 70rmb, rip the guts out and replace it with an Arduino 180rmb, theNelsons h-bridge shield 50rmb and 2 ultra sonic sensors 35rmb.. everything you need is in the space, not only will you be a hacker but you’ll learn some awesome skills while you do it. Tonight Min Lin and Ricky will be around to share stories from their recent hacking journeys. Get an insight into processing. we have a special guest coming down who’ll be setting up a processing workshop, find out whats involved tonight. Michael (RubberDucky) will be drilling into the walls to setup some computer benches, and also hooking up his mega-super-awesome-button-box for the new restricted toys (lathes, mills, bandsaw, drill) Paul will be discussing the lock-picking study with interested participants. Lio will be figuring out how he’s going to do the bamboo go-kart with those interested for the ben heck challenge (find out more tonight) and how you can be involved. After the event around 9pm the hackers will take to the tracks for some go-karting “research” at Chang Feng park indoor race track for some super awesome driving skills “bring a head mounted camera” If you thought this Wednesday is fun, wait for the weekend..

Pilot FIRST® Tech Challenge Robotics competition in Shanghai

Time: Saturday, April 23, 11:00 am to 4:00 pm

Location: Shanghai American School, Pudong campus

International school team robots will compete in the pilot FIRST® Tech Challenge high school robotics competition, developed by FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), a U.S. based non-profit. Teams design, build and program robots to compete in an exciting, sports-like challenge. Reaching 250,000 students in grades K to 12 worldwide, FIRST engages students in science and technology learning and leadership and provides an opportunity to apply classroom concepts to ‘real-world’ engineering problems, work on open-ended challenges and create their own solutions. The event is free and open to the public. Contact Paula Joseph at [email protected] for more information.

For more information, contact Shelly Shen at [email protected] 13564738316 or Paula Joseph at [email protected] 18601794144

Kevin Xie from Xilinx (University Program Greater China manager) came by to visit XinCheJian last Sunday as he’s very interested in helping Hackerspaces in China. He sees Hackerspaces like XinCheJian as a potential opportunity for students to apply the knowledge they gain in university in real devices while inspiring them to do cool stuff. Xilinx programmable logic devices is what is powering many industrial strength devices and an important building block in any larger project. Xilinx offer capabilities that complement micro-controllers very well when continuous signal processing is needed. This could offer us interesting alternatives to real-time sensors data processing and actuators control in a very compact package. ]]>

RoboPeak团队

很高兴在微博上碰到vinjn，邀请到他们RoboPeak的团队来分享他们的机器人。本来看他们的网站的时候一直觉得他们是个职业队，做很酷的机器人。活动那天见面才知道他们是玩家队，呵呵，感到压力，要督促自己了。;) 他们网站上有很多的技术相关资料，非常值得学习，在这里我们就贴出团队的照片。

element14.com提供的人民币5900元（约合900美元）赞助费作为购买零件（包括必需的微型控制器和便携式动力装置）的预算支出。 每家参赛的黑客空间都会收到10件焊接装置，而进入半决赛却未获得冠军的三家选手各将得到价值不低于人民币13000元（约合2000美元）的电子工具。获胜的参赛选手将获得价值在人民币36000元（约合5600美元）以上的Tektronix MSO2024示波器一台。作为额外奖励，进入半决赛的选手都将被邀请参加2011年度在加州举行的Maker Faire大展。 为迎合GGHC大赛宗旨，新车间将目光投向那些还在接受初等教育的孩子，希望让他们了解到通过合作以及打破传统思维从而解决问题的绝佳途径。这样寓教于娱乐的方式可以使孩子与学习的关系更为互动，并且鼓励了他们投入到更多样的挑战中去。 想要加入或是给我们的团队提供帮助？请致邮到[email protected]。 想联系大赛组织者请致邮[email protected]。]]>

上海的RoboPeak

非常高兴上海 RoboPeak 机器人研发团队会在 3／26的活动 上为我们带来演说。非常期待。

从他们的网站上：

RoboPeak是国内由一群软件工程师、电子工程师、新媒体艺术家所组成的机器人及相关技术领域的设计研发团队，团队于2009年底创建。 团队致力于民用机器人平台系统、机器人操作系统(ROS)以及相关设备的设计研发，并尝试将日新月异的机器人技术融入人们的日常生活与娱乐当中。同时，我们将尽力为机器人技术在开源硬件、开源软件社区的普及做出贡献。 团队在嵌入式系统、系统级软件/固件、图像识别等领域拥有丰富的经验，拥有独立设计，开发机器人操作系统、相关传感器设备硬件/固件的能力。

这个团队在机器人和Arduino上做了相当多开发，详细的情况可以查看他们的博客.底下的图片来自他们的博客，看起来相当有趣的机器人设计，期待周六和他们见面。
