The NXT Robot Swarm has been scheduled for Saturday at 12:30 in Junior Ballroom
3. It seems the goal of this first event is to get some basic BT communication
working, and if there’s time, actually try a swarm-like experiment. If anything
else, it will be fun to just hang out and talk about this stuff.
Please bring your NXT along with the basic robot that everyone with an NXT
retail set has the necessary parts to build. I’m talking about the driving base
that can be assembled and programmed in 30 minutes.
We also need at least one person to bring a laptop with BT capabilities so we
can design/compile/upload the programs we end up writing. (I don’t have a
laptop, sorry!)
It might also be interesting to do broadcast-type IR communication with some RCX
robots, but I think we’ll be plenty busy just getting the NXTs to talk to each
other.
I’ll see you there!

I can loan out an iBook with BT - and it has the NXT retail software.

Jordan,
Sorry to tell you this, but getting NXTs to talk to each other isn't going to take
very long. Of course, figuring out what to say may take a bit.
People should be able to bring almost any NXT robot, and we'll be able to get them
to communicate. Even a couple line-following robots can talk to each other...
(sorry, that's a different event) :)
Also, I'll have my laptop w/bluetooth.

I meant busy in the context of the other subthread in this thread, in which
people proposed hacking a way around the master-slave restrictions.
But still, that's good news, so we'll have to think of some stuff for the robots
to do that will be interesting.
