"Kill the Crocodile"
Introduction
The Robotic Design Studio 2007 (CS 115/PHYS 115) is a wintersession course held at Wellesley College and taught by Franklyn Turbak and Scott Anderson.
Sanja Jagesic, Erika Sue, and Lincy Thomas are three workaholic college students taking the course over Wintersession 2007. Sanja enrolled to fulfil her science credits; Erika enrolled on a lark; Lincy enrolled just because. None of us have any programming experience, and Erika believes robots are on a secret mission to take over the world.
As a result of Erika's paranoia, the objective of our project was to kill a robot - specifically, to kill Rex, a candy-stealing robotic crocodile. More often than not, however, Rex led us to contemplate arson while we munched furtively on the oodles of candy that Lyn and Scott brought in.
Nonetheless, despite the many trials and tribulations associated with Rex, we had a lot of fun. Much of our enjoyment was due to the enthusiasm, helpfulness, and generosity of Lyn and Scott, and we are ever grateful for them.
