NodeBots 2015 was a “smashing” success!

The event, sponsored by Sparkbox, DataYard, and Gem City JS, gave folks the opportunity to experiment with an Arduino, motors, a simple robotic frame, and Javascript code (via NodeJS) to glue it all together and make a functional robot. Everyone came up with a different robot using the assortment of materials provided, and it was crazy seeing what everyone’s imagination produced. Amazing stuff!

The DataYard bot, “Yellow Jacket”, battled very well but was eliminated in the final round against “Tarnation”. Wherever their bots finished, everyone seemed to have a great time learning and competing.

I’m already looking forward to NodeBots 2016!
