Go Team 4904, aka Bot-Provoking!!!
My son’s robotics team achieved a personal best in the Silicon Valley regional today, placing #8 in the qualifying rounds (out of 60 teams). My son worked on a neural network that ran on the NVIDIA GPU to recognize the yellow boxes (once a second to conserve power) and a motion tracker to interpolate between the samples.
The #8 placement unfortunately matched them against the perennially top-seeded Cheesy Poofs for the quarterfinals. Then we had what I might call a “4904 Error” — communication with the bot went haywire, knocking us out for this year.
