Brainwagon Radio: Robogames 2005 and the ATI X700 Pro

Sunday, March 27th, 2005

I haven’t gotten a lot done this afternoon, but I did record a podcast which described some of the fun we had at Robogames 2005 (check yesterdays blog entry for pictures) and a brief description of my new graphics card: an ATI X700 Pro which replaces the old X300 SE card in my Windows Media PC.

Hope everyone had a nice Easter. My ham turned out delicious, as did the sweet potatoes.

Robogames 2005

Sunday, March 27th, 2005

Well, just got back from a day of watching robot combat at the Robogames competition in at San Francisco State. It continues tomorrow. You can look at my gallery of photos, and maybe even watch a Quicktime of a poor Robosapien competing in an event.

More coverage on Slashdot.

Even more photos, courtesy of Thomas Hawk: here and here.
