Yes, I know, I know, Math. Maybe you are asking Why? Or maybe you are thinking, "math scares me". Well.. it scares me too, but we will find a way to get it done.

If you are bringing a laptop, please download Processing IDE from Processing.org.

So, we want to program a robot. Well, if we program a robot, we can make it do something in particular. We could make it go in a circle, a square, or even navigate in a maze. Maybe it will make the bed.

But, when we start programming the robot, we realize there are a whole bunch of problems to solve. What if it goes off course? What if something is in the way? or.. why do I have to write a hack every time I make a robot do something?

What we really want is the ability to program a robot easily and quickly. For this we need some fundamental equations and a set of commands (API). During this meetup, we will begin this process.

Don't worry about your math skills. We will find or make some functions to do the heavy lifting.
