This is quite possibly the lamest instance of procrastination ever, but I’d like to report that I am currently on the fifth floor of Building 36, in the 6.101/6.002-3 lab programming a robot made of LEGOs.. in quite possibly the lamest programming language ever known to mankind - Cricket Logo, which is used to program the Lego Mindstorm building set. Not to say that this DEECS project isn’t kickass, because it is, but a language that doesn’t even come with an elseif control structure (it’s only if/else) makes me want to tear out my hair in chunks.
But other than that, DEECS has been pretty awesome so far. Now, back to debugging our fickle little thing.. apparently Logo doesn’t play well with nested if/else, LCVs, and recursion..?
OH MY GOD!!! In four years you will be programming Lego robots to do brain surgery. Just think ahead to the future! One step at a time.
Great content. I’ll keep coming back for similar posts which I cannot wait to read….
