ARLINGTON — The Arlington Public Schools' NeoBots 2903 FIRST Robotics team was recently selected as one of 12 schools's teams from around the world to conduct a beta test using the Kinect game system.
Students from the Arlington NeoBots team have been working closely with their mentors in the Arlington School District, Boeing and Microsoft to develop a software operating system that would allow the Kinect system to operate the NeoBots robot. Through several weeks of software programming and testing with the robotic hardware, the students were able to get their robot to interact with the Kinect system.
