Connecting Minds with Technology for a Better World
It's Sumobot fighting time!!
Originally posted for Facebook, this shows the simplebot using the Captain Arguino Arduino board from www.podpi.com being controlled via AJFisher's UDP transparent bridge to Johnny-five over Adafruit Industries' ESP8266 "Huzzah" development board.
This design was adapted from Andrew Fisher's article in Make: JavaScript Robotics by Rick Waldron & Backstop Media.
I control the bot using W, A, S, D.
Great Article from Comstock's Magazine about PodPi, the curriculum that we are primarily using for our electronics track:

Hi Club Members!
This is one way to build the replacement gauge for Servo's Dashboard.
Please ensure that you have the appropriate materials before you start this challenge. Materials such as: Scissors, x acto knife, glue/cement, some cardboard or plastic and either some colored pens/pencils or a color printer and some software will be helpful. I used Microsoft Excel and a color printer for this, but you can use anything you like!

The sensing temperature experiment is pretty fun. The 1k thermistor is the larger of the two packages, in case you were wondering.
So, were you able to make a solution for changing the color of an RGB LED when you squeeze the thermistor to warm it up?
I'd like to see it. Here's the solution I came up with:
