One of the things I enjoy is to surf the Internet and see what othere people are doing with my brainchild. Below are some choice examples. If you know of a site I have missed, please send me a mail.

In no particular order:

Recursive Robots

Eric McC., Cale S., Mark P., and Rachel F., students at the Univeristy of Washington, writes:

"3 robots collaborate to make a feedback loop in which they create their environment by reacting to it, according to their idiosyncratic behaviors."

They don't tell if they are running it through a single PC (i.e. if the MindSqualls API is handling three simultaneous bluetooth connections). Should be possible, but I've never tried it myself.

Ivalde

This project was done by Leon L. and his coursemates at the University of Upsala, Sweeden.

"The robot's mission is to be placed into an unknown world, creating a 2D map of the whole area."

CreateOI

Kevin Gabbert plans to combine his NXT robot with his iRobot. For that purpose he wants to package the MindSquals API with his own CreateOI Framework.

Clemens' Space

Clemens W plans to use the MindSqualls API in his programming courses for kids and teens. Actually, I'm flattered. :^)
