Been in the UK for a couple of weeks. Got back late last night. Jet lag is horrible but had a nice time. Thanks for asking.

Only just! Ate far too much, exercised... not at all. Fantastic.

At least their intentions were well aand it's not like they want us to confirm anything every day now.

Quote: Excellentwrittenandverbalcommunicationskills From a nice unsolicited email from a recruiter for a well known technology company. Should I apply? Seems that adherence to their requirements are optional.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Nobetternot.
My belly tells me that they know no humor in such matters. Laughing at them because of the irony probably is a capital offense which would get you fired. They would probably even hire you, just so that they can fire you for that.

Not looking, I like where I'm at. Just thought it was a humorous bit of irony.
And yes, If I did apply, I would point this out to them in an interview. I think they would like to know that for whatever circumstance that the errors occurred that their recruiting email was fraught with errors.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Seems that they desperately need someone to fill that vacancy!

My thoughts as well. Though I'd remove punctuation and carriage returns as well, just for good measure!

That's the new word I learned today. And I would just love to build one.
What? You don't know what they are? Look here.[^] It's a nice website, by the way.
At the bottom you can make the robot transparent and look how two different mechanisms may work. For the electronics, I would suggest the microcontroller unit for a multicopter, which also has a three axis gyro and is built to control multiple motors. Best an open source device, so that it's easier to adapt the software.
Edit: Arduino? Deodorant rollers? A beach ball? Great idea![^]

I have looked at various ways to do it. There are easier ways to do it by keeping the drive & balance in the 'head' opposed to the body with a system crawling around. Have a look for Mike Senna's BB-8

This leads us to the next question: What can that thing do? Not really much except rolling around.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, for one thing chasing animals (neighbors cat for example) and small children. If you had some form of tracking for the balls position you could add a lighter to give a thumbs up...
|
|

How about building two football teams of them? We would need to add a camera and aprocessor to find the ball, the other players and the goal and give it control over the robot's movement.
|
|
|
|
|
Hmmm, I am debating about building one. I up for a game of footie if you can find 'em. From experience building one is fun, more than one is work!
|
|
|
|
|
I'm just trying to find a purpose for that thing. I doubt that some Empire will be after me in the near future, nor do I have any secret information that I could entrust my loyal robot with. I don't even know any rebels who would be interested in my secrets.
