The NodeBots movement is all around us, but did you know that you don't have to touch a soldering iron to take part? There are plenty of over-the-counter drones, robots, toys and other devices that are ready for your code, I'll show you a few.
In this talk you will learn how to use JavaScript and popular open source robotics frameworks to give you that sweet instant gratification of seeing your code bridge the gap from the digital to the physical world.
There will be live demos: drones, rolling robots and Minority Report style hand controls of them all. Please step back!
