Nov.2 KISS CBC day

Dave Miller gave a quick introduction toBotball CBC robot.
Its UI is touch screen.   Download is similar to Lego NXT.
We did the typical first time things. Move the motors and follow a line.
The function to start the motors returns as soon as the motors are started.
Later a separate function can be set to wait for the motor function to complete.

BUT BC Botball has a very nice camera which works as a color light sensor.
The range of light is chosen from a spectrem, not restricted to ranges or 3 colors. 
Also you see a picture via the camera and can see what it is detecting.

For Thursday its hoped I can get a Scheme language interface workng on CBC.
