Fractal fun and more

After a couple of back-and-forth e-mails with the judges, it turns out that the MSU SECON team was judged third, due to eight penalty point assessed in the final round (a total of two were assessed in the previous three rounds; the behavior of the robot didn't change). Oh, well -- that puts us in 3rd place. It's a great robot and a good reminder to focus on standards other than winning.

• Johnny Lee produces absolutely amazing videos of this HCI ideas. Wow.
• Fractals can be quite pretty (and there are more!).
