JSConf 2015 Kassandra Perch
summary
A quick run-down of what actually happened and what works: a browser-controlled robot streams 128k 30fps video from an Intel Edison running Node and serves a joystick UI but still struggles with power delivery; the workshop uses a Peewee runt rover <$20 kit plus an Arduino Uno; nodebots day had about 60 builders and produced working sail and motor boats; Johnny Five ships an animation library and an inverse-kinematics addon (Tharp) that drives a hexapod from a Leap controller; cheap hardware mentioned includes the Onion Omega $9 and LightBlue Bean $30.
