Rollcats v1.01 - aka Dean Kamen's early years
Eric's attempts at grasping how the Segway's wheels work (digitally) fail spectacularly.
Morning, Day 2 - Dealin git-keys
Day 2 - Impromptu Cosi breakfast. Make coffee. Keys distributed, git repositories being set up. Documented in OmniGraffle.
Day 1 - Wheelin' Kitties
Day 1 - teams arrive. Contingency of Scratch aficionados breaks the programming language barrier in a most excellent way.
Ideas are thrown about, they include:
- Racing
- Construction
- Ballistics (slingshots, cannon)
- Tower destruction (with a purpose)
- Underwater (buoyancy and current instead of gravity)
- Simulating different environments
- Billiards
- Dolphins
- Airplanes
- Bridge building game
- Visualization of physics scene properties
- Springy elements!
- Draw stuff and turn it into physics (using camera?)
- Spirograph-like stuff
- Bowling with bumpers
