Negative Nathan Says

• Get video out of MAKLabs

  • to controller at Edinburgh

• Asks for video stream and gives instructions to robot

• web page/site/app which provides video stream and takes instructions for robot

  • Web browser at Edin end
    • could be touch screen

• JSON - easy to do from website, easy to handle on robot, sends over internet easily

To Do

• RaspPi/python - Have a way of turning JSON file and sending instructions to Arduino

• RaspPi - Video Stream

• Receive JSON file

• Controller which sends JSON file to and reads video from robot

• VNC as fallback/debugging tool

  • only works if you have a UI

• VPN as fallback/debugging tool

• Come up with a set of instructions to send over JSON

  • Control motors (i.e. Drive Forward for 5, Turn Left for 15deg)
  • Camera control (i.e. tilt up, turn left, camera on/off, headlights on)
  • Accessory control (i.e. fire the laser PEW PEW)
  • Instructions to reset position (which would flash a light or make a noise for someone at the other end to manually intervene with the robot)

• Figure out Port Forwarding, getting IP address etc

• Game Brief

  • interface
  • instruction list
  • landscape
  • props
  • scoring
