Project Nomad - Part 1
Channel: The Synshop
Date: 2012-06-19

Project Nomad is the idea to turn a 30 year old mini-computer, a PDP-11/23 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-11, into a robot that can be driven around via remote control initially and eventually autonomously.  The purpose other than building awesome, is to use the PDP-11 in a Defcon Programming contest called Crash and Compile.  We figure that driving your development environment up to the stage to compete has to be worth some style points.

Project Nomad is being built at SYN Shop, the Las Vegas Hackerspace.
