Community Corner
Cloud Robotics Hackathon
Field Library serves as local venue for international event.
A small group of self proclaimed "tech-geeks" huddled over computers and boxes of parts in the children's room at the Field Library in Peekskill on Saturday morning as they participated in the Cloud Robotics Hackathon.
The international event continues tomorrow from 1-4 p.m. and includes hackers, programmers and tinkerers who create fun and useful robotic behaviours, according to their Web site, roboticshackathon.com.
In Peekskill, programmers from IBM and Philips Research joined several high school students as they built small robotic machines and programmed them to perform small operations.
