Software for the Mad Monster Robot |
|
Sony Vaio with Linux 2.5.1 (it does USB).
Two 4-axis Thrustmaster joysticks (libjsw).
OpenGL (Mesa 3.7, libglut and libgl)
OpenGL 3-D simulation capable of predicting the rotation and position of
SpiderBall, exactly what is likely to happen to it.
Receives what *is* happening to SpiderBall - not only the positioning
of the legs and their rotational speed, but also the rotational position
of the shell (using Gyros) - and adjusts according to situation and
user-control.
