<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em"><strong>Part 1: LFS Client/Server Demo</strong></p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">Ron will demo fresh updates to his Line Following Simulator project. This is a rapidly evolving project which DPRG hopes to feature in its’ at-least-partly-virtual 2020 Fall Robot competition. This latest version has a client/server architecture, designed to better separate robot code from simulator code. This updated architecture should implicitly help robot builders create a better abstraction layer between their controller logic and the hardware platform. With any luck, and a little planning – you may even find it easy to port your abstract robot controller to a physical robot.</p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">Back-story- Ron and Will shared a very capable but early version of this environment in DPRG’s 8 Aug meeting – watch it here: <a style="text-decoration:underline;color:#2585b2" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsxVhTXg13M&t=3727s" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsxVhTXg13M&t=3727s" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsxVhTXg13M&t=3727s</a></p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">And then, in a regular Tuesday night online chat, we all realized that it was the PERFECT tool for today’s COVID-19 world. Watch the concept crystallize here starting around 1:50:34: <a style="text-decoration:underline;color:#2585b2" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5fNLvRj8h0" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5fNLvRj8h0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5fNLvRj8h0</a></p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">Bottom line- we’re working to allow contestants to submit virtual robots to compete in a standard simulation environment this Nov/Dec. We may not be able to host a big crowd at the Dallas Maker Space, but we hope to attract competitors and groupies from all over the globe!</p>
