Chess Update

Let's Make Robots
1

5.11.11 This update is running Grog's MRL program

The first video explains it well I hope.

 

5.14.11 The second video shows that I have changed the chess robot so it no longer goes back to a8 (the starting position) after every move. The code now calculates how to perform the next move from the location the chess robot's gantry crane ends at. I have also programmed in the ability for the robot to perform a castling move that the chess engine often does (this is not seen in the video)

Very Cool Pat !

Forgot about moving the pieces - nice that you could take care of it on the Arduino…  

I haven’t won once against the engine … now I don’t like chess…

What’s next … hooking it up to the Internet?  Speech command activated?  Voice describing the move?   Ooooh put a radio module on your sumo-bot and you could have an Commando Pawn !  Swarm of Commando Pawns perhaps?  Now that would be a way to win…
