Speed Simulation


I wrote up a simple Javascript web application to simulate the speed of your robot compared to other well known objects ( a bike, a car, etc.). There is also a football field in the background so you can see your robot's speed in relation to a football field.
Right now the simulation only supports whole numbers and only only operates in the feet per second resolution. I will add on support for meters per second later.

Also I am 75% done with the simulation portion for slow speeds in the inches per second scale. That part has a yardstick in the background. That should be ready in a few days.
Heres the link to the simulation , just enter the speed in feet per second in the text box above

New Layout for Narobo.com

Just finished the new and improved layout of my main website - Narobo.com
Put in some javascript and also put up the Narobo Logo.

Roboduino on MAKE !

The Roboduino was featured on MAKE: Blog.

Been busy with the Roboduino lately, so not much more updates.

I am working on a simulation to see relative speed in relation to a well know object in the background(ruler, football field, etc.) . It will be useful when you are trying to figure out relatively how fast an object should be going . I would also add other moving objects that would move alongside the object ( a car, a person running , bicycle, etc.). I plan to add text boxes to enter in speed and also checkboxes to select which objects would show up on screen.
