Remote robot wars contests
A University mech engineering dept or commercial building (that sells the robots) that allows people to go online and battle it out with other contestants. The more wins you get, the better the robot you get to use. Or just pay to use the top robot. Just an idea.
Good lord. they even have a governing body to make sure those little bots don’t get hurt. Or is it to protect the geeks that make them? The online contest idea sounds good though.
You should tell these guys about this. Wouldn’t cost much to set up if you could use your keyboard to control them without too much latency.
Just a stack of these in a room wired to tablets would do the trick. The site could stream the events, make videos and make advertising revenue from someone’s garage.
