Robotics Studio session @ TechEd Europe.
I've just attended a robotics studio session at TechEd Europe given by Martin Calsyn who used to work in the Robotics Studio team (and now works for Coroware based in Barcelona/Spain) - this was an excellent session and a great introduction to the tools and technologies used to get a robot up and running - Martin used the robot simulator to show running code and also a series of Phidgets that could be used to build a low cost robot - given that you can get something up and running in about an hour and all of us have a robot enthusiast just itching to build something that crawls/moves perhaps it's time to download the Robotics Studio!
At last years MEDC event we were running SumoRobots based on the .NET MicroFramework, I'm wondering whether this year we could perhaps have more than one competition running, perhaps .NETMF Sumo for those that enjoyed last years competition, and how about Lego NXT Sumo robots being controlled by Robotics Studio ? - Thoughts ?

Give me a NXT and I'm definitively in! ;) I precisely tested the November CTP of Robotics Studio yesterday with my old Mindstorms and can only imagine all I could do with a NXT robot. Because, as cool as the Studio might be, if you have to control your robot via IR it quickly becomes quite limited (except if you settle for the simulator).
