Hi guys, Jill here with Let’s Robot.

I wanted write about the last month in review and share it with you guys.

Cyber Theft

Let’s start with a few statistics for October:

We had a total of 47 unique robocasters stream a total of 80 different unique controllable robots this month.

We had an average of 8 robots streaming on the site at any given time, with a high of 22 simultaneous robot streams, and a low of 2, which was only hit very briefly. The average of 8 for October is higher than 6.8 for September, and 4.9 for August.

We also had some cool new events, robots, and other robot features added to the site this month:

Parallax Robotics dressed up their robots for Halloween, and made a pretty spooky robot haunted house for us to explore.

User onlybrezel updating his Viewie robot so you can treat his adorable kitties in style!

And last but not least, we totally rekt our first robot with Fighty the battle bot, created for us by robotmike of AIorDie

Fighty draws first blood!

There is so much cool stuff that happened this month, but i don’t have time to cover it all. If you guys send me gifs and images of what you are working on, Ican share them in future posts!

A few more updates you should know about this month:

The robot controller for the website has been completely overhauled. It is much more stable, and now supports exclusive control. (Your robot’s software will need to be updated to use the new controller).

We’ve updated much of the documentation in the last month, so please check that out. It should be much more clear how to build particular robots, or install the runmyrobot software on your robot.

We will be continuing the saga of the Hive Mind vs. AI using Fighty the battle bot! Be sure to hangout on our Friday Robocasts at 1pm PST every Friday. This week we’ve made some upgrades to our battle bots, so who knows who will have the advantage this time!

Thanks!
