So, this is a happy coincidence.
Remember how Noel (@noelportugal) built Rock ’em Sock ’em Robots controlled by phone, specifically using Twilio (@twilio)? Well, apparently, great minds hack alike or something.
Jonathan Gottfried (@jonmarkgo) a developer evangelist at Twilio, built a robot controlled by Twilio too, the TwilioBot (h/t TechCrunch).
I love this stuff.
I for one welcome our Twilio controlled overlords…
For the cool factor alone.
My kid is at Cosmos but I don’t know if he’ll have time to include this phone control stuff I’ve been sending him. During the parent orientation, many of the parents were obviously envious of what their kids were doing.
Totally, I intend to use my daughter as either a vehicle for my nerdy passions or as a catalyst/excuse for scratching the maker itch.
