Robot taught to play pool (without cheating!)

,----[ Quote ]
| A robot has been trained to play pool to a 
| decent standard in the space of approximately 
| one week by some of the  âopen source robotâ 
| guys over at Willow Garage. The best part is 
| that this machine plays by the rules.

Open Source DIY Tablet Kit Promises Versatility

,----[ Quote ]
| Last but not least is the BeagleJuice. As the 
| main source of power, it's fitting that the 
| power switch is located on this 2600 mAh 
| power pack. It outputs up to 1.5 amps, 
| promising a max battery life of 6.5 hours for 
| the BeagleBoard (no info on how the 
| BeagleTouch's operation affects this). 
| Charging is accomplished through one or both 
| type-B USB ports.

| leased for a monthly fee, not bought, and
| secondly, all the technology and design is open
