[Noisebridge-discuss] brain-controlled robotics project

[Steve Castellotti]

    Terrific, thanks!

     I will contact you off list to set up the details.

    It would probably be useful to meet with you first and discuss how
the project might be best related to whatever curriculum the kids are
currently learning.


    Also as I only have the one headset and robot maybe we can come up
with a fair and balanced way for everyone to have a chance to have a
play.


Cheers

Steve
