Nolan’s Notes

Well, today was definitely a day to remember. After missing my alarm clock because the atomic clock was still set for Pacific time, I started off the day on my left foot and 45 minutes late! I scarfed down breakfast on the bus over to the airport, and then I set off towards Carnegie Mellon. Here are a few pictures of downtown Pittsburgh.

One thing that I noticed about the surrounding city of pittsburgh was the large open spaces with no lack of debris. This isn’t much of a problem near the university, but it still happens.

faintly reminiscent of the Tower of Babel…

This is actually the final project that introductory robotics student have to create a robot for. It’s a combination of line-following, obstacle-avoiding, and I’m sure other coding goodness. One thing I want to point out is the specialized “wheelchair” ramps that look specially designed for robots. Awesome!

Day Two is over. More to come!
