Building giant killer robots is hard: permits, nuclear fuel sources, the UN, etc. However, building mini killer robots is much easier thanks to the new LEGO Mindstorms EV3.
This talk will look at what LEGO Mindstorms are and what the new EV3 platform is capable of including its servo motors and array of sensors. It'll compare the EV3 platform to the previous NXT 2.0, and talk about why you should immediately go spend all of your money at the LEGO store. Then, to bring the singularity closer, the talk will take Mono, write C#, and run .NET code on the LEGO Mindstorms.
You'll leave this talk wanting to build a robot that can help you take over the world or terrify your pets.
