Exmo. Sr. Presidente Lula,
Neste final de seu governo não posso me furtar ao mínimo de manifestar minha gratidão. Cada uma das minhas expectativas quando votei no senhor foram amplamente atendidas e superadas. Eu sonhava em ter no senhor um presidente capaz de diminuir um pouco que fosse a enorme diferença na distribuição de riquezas existente entre as classes ricas e probres do Brasil. Só isso já teria feito meu voto valer a pena. Mas, muito além do que eu esperava ser possível, nesses últimos 8 anos ví gradativamente meu orgulho de ser brasileiro aumentar, sonhando com a possibilidade de nos tornarmos um país justo com seus cidadãos, e inspirador e amigo de todos os povos do mundo. Quero destacar suas ações para a integração sul-americana, bem como o estreitamento dos nossos laços com os países da África. Vibrei com cada instante da política externa brasileira durante seu governo: finalmente mostramos o rosto e o coração do Brasil! Acredite que estou emocionado ao encerrar com a única sentença que me ocorre nese momento: Muito obrigado, presidente e equipe.

3pi pololu robot 3rd experiment
This time we decided to check the precision we can obtain measuring distances with the Pololu 3pi.
There is a function called encoders_get_counts_m1 in the AVR Library available on 3pi stuff. The function returns the counts of motor 1, and declares that the value of the distance from the start point is near 3 mm/count. So, we coded 3pi to follow a (straight) line, stopping after what should be 10 cm forward and wait for button B pressure, and so on, until the end of the line.
We measured each stop with a rule, and got the values (in centimeters):
7.8 - 8.5 - 8.5 - 7.9 - 7.9 - 9.2 - 7.6 - 7.5.
The bigger difference is 9.2 - 7.5 = 1.7 cm. This points to a possible error of aprox. 18.4% on the measurement. But it is not conclusive yet. We must check if there are no external influences, as the pressure of the button, that can be changing the results.

3pi pololu robot 2nd experiment
Next (see before 3pi pololu robot 1st experiment) we decided to make 3pi follow a given path from point A to point B.
We inserted an array of directions into the C code. Each time 3pi find a diversion it consumes a direction from the array and applies it.
This research activity is part of Grupo de Tecnologia e Desenvolvimento de Sistemas Computacionais.

3pi pololu robot 1st experiment
The 3pi pololu mobile robot is a low price device that allows a lot of experiments.
Me and my friend Fabio decided to investigate the possibilities.
This is the result of our first try. (we are programming the bot trough my netbook + ubuntu 9.10) using the usb cable that comes with it.
Language is C.
Following a random path.
