Virtual Robotics Toolkit: Simulate FIRST LEGO League & WRO


The 'Virtual Robotics Toolkit' is particularly great from my perspective because it could lead to First Lego League meets going online only, and from home, and from anywhere in the world (and for brand new sophisticated and different ways of building with physical Lego Robotics' kits, and for safety too!)! For Physical-Digital WUaS Educational Services' Robotics' stores in all ~200 countries and in their main languages, too?

Good morning Ma, Ed, Pin, Alden, and All,

Greetings!

Glad you said last night on the phone "We'll see how it goes this week" or similar, Ma.
Referring to moving into Canyon again, and abolition-ally too? On Saturday or before? Into the 'apartment' of 670a Ridgecrest possibly ... with leases potentially (if I were to come into an ownership arrangement there)? 

Social life and as an individual (per George Alexander MD's thinking) ... How might this find form? I don't think I want to hire people if I zoned a possible Ridgecrest place for agriculture and viticulture for example ... on ~1.5 acres with lots of sun. Robots? Previous mentally ill former landlord hired very few people to do yard work, or put in the passive solar water heating system, for example. Becoming a landlord could be good for income, but informs sociality in its own way (and am not too inclined to do so). Both becoming farmer and landlord could detract from growing great COMMUNITY (and as professor, president,

 and presiding clerk, in the manner of QUAKERs Friends, at WUaS, for example). Fill the house-let at 670a with my own kids in a few years? Planning? ... WUaS Academic Medical Center with Warm Water Cure (this latter on East Bay MUD land) and Physical-Digital experiments and WUaS Longevity Genetics' Institute too with 6 species, - 3 genomic-ally that fly, chicken, Honey Bee, Drosophila, and 3 with mammary glands, human beings, dogs and mice, all re laboratory science - and on a farm-let, (zoned for agriculture for taxes?) World University and School hippy commune on the ridge? What's the plan if I could move back to develop World University and School there in 670a and in the shop (as multimedia room for visiting the whole world and universe as class rooms and infinite STEAM field sites eg inside a chickens genome at cell molecule levels for flight and at twice the age of its upper lifespan) too there? (VERY SPECULATIVELY inside the multimedia room inside the chicken's wing in VR, how to keep the levels of this particular enzyme up at twice the upper age of the chicken?:)

May add some of the above to blog beyond the 4/16/22 World Univ & Sch Minutes that just went out recently -

Fond Regards,

Ma, All, 

Greetings, and I hope your weekends are going well!

Added the first email today here - 

Also I just heard from Donald Meek in Scotland today, on a Sunday! - and more, after a blog post from last year that you may see - with Professor Donald Meek, an emeritus professor at the University of Edinburgh - in a second blog post today ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/04/mantis-shrimp-nannosquilla-decemspinosa.html - and who was head of the department when I studied in the School of Celtic and Scottish Studies in 2003- 2004, and a Cambridge Univ alumni, and a native Scottish Gaelic speaker, from the Hebridean Isle of Tiree too, and who is also quite religious (Christian), I think. :)

Heading out for a hike soon ! Hoping some of you are getting out for movement too! In the interesting Smithsonian article, in the last Minute in the WUaS Corp for 4/16/22 Monthly Business Meeting - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/04/astragalus-penduliflorus.html - the researchers attempt to correlate blood cell counts, with step counts, for longevity research ... https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/humans-could-live-up-to-150-years-new-research-suggests/ ... also potentially offering something each of us might do for research even (use our smartphones for step counts ... but the article doesn't say anything about numbers:) ... and that we can do to possibly live beyond 122 years of age, for example (and re Jeanne Calment), at least research-focus-wise (regarding medical science creating knowledge but not necessarily offering things 'patients' can do proactively to improve their health :) 

An orange pill to live to ~200 years of age? :) (And a long walk up the Harbin Hot Springs' hill to the warm pool re walking and warm pool meditation too ... but newly in the East Bay MUD hills, in a Physical-Digital field site generator of a simulated Harbin Hot Springs there? :))

Fondly, Scott

Ma, Alden, All,

Greetings from the beautiful SF Bay Area! 

 And hi from Marin county on the high up road close to Mt Tamalpais East Peak.

Fantastically beautiful, I stoppe,d pulled over, and parked in an established little paved parking lot without a name (not too far from Mountain Theater on Mt Tamalpais), and took off an amazing trail high above the Pacific ocean. No poetry is coming to me yet, but while just getting broadband LTE WiFi back, and AllTrail App not showing any trails nearby, and Google Maps still open from driving here and for trails too, - AND Maps says below me on the almost too sheer hillside but not quite, that the 'Coastal Trail' ... is below. Great! Could this be the same trail you Alden and I had loosely considered walking all 1200 miles of, in little bits? Don't know but something to explore ...

Am counting hiking time if not steps regarding the Scientific American 150 years' old Longevity paper (in the last 4/16/22 WUaS MBM Minute .. http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/04/astragalus-penduliflorus.html?m=0 ... And observe that it ALSO says things decline as we age, so focusing on walking time or steps to 150 years old could have much merit ... :) Research-wise!

Am reminded of George Alexander MD's standing by the Desiderata on one of the last times my mother and I saw him at the Quaker continuing care center  (the Crosslands' Kendall place) SW of Philadelphia ... https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html ...

... and its sentence
"Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself...."
...so I'm going to up my daily Yoga pose practice too and in addition to seeking to walk at least 30 minutes per day (... and for reference my frequent walk to the UU CHURCH OF KENSINGTON BERKELEY is 40 minutes each way ... so am perhaps going to up this too in the next week I'm in the UN safe house north of Berkeley). How much are you all doing movement wise? :)

As I was driving to Marin county, I saw a fairly large canoe atop a large car, that then proceeded to follow me as I went the 50 mph speed limit ... And I thought of you Henry, and your love of canoeing (at least in high school years) ... So I pulled over upon just arriving in Marin and thinking about an upcoming in the USA searched on - 'Toyota Proace Autonomous Vehicle Electric Camping Van with Toyota factory made Pop Top in the largest of 3 sizes' in Europe now, with canoe {or SURF BOARD} on top  - but didn't find anything with canoe carrying potential - https://vanclan.co/toyota-proace-campers/. Don't know if a Pop Top is in Toyota ProAce's camping vans' planning either :) 


Fondly from the trail, Scott

PS
Likely to post this to a continuation of this thread here in today's blog post#1) where #2 is Scotland WUaS focusing) - 



(How about a 2023 VW Camper Bus? ... the Pop Top of the VW Westfalia camping bus to the north of this un safe house' was UP when I got back to north of Berkeley this afternoon...) 

PPS
In a virtual earth for step counting too?

The Moroccan flic-flac spider (Cebrennus rechenbergi) uses a series of rapid, acrobatic flic-flac movements of its legs similar to those used by gymnasts, to actively propel itself off the ground, allowing it to move both down and uphill, even at a 40 percent incline.[68] This behaviour is different than other huntsman spiders, such as Carparachne aureoflava from the Namib Desert, which uses passive cartwheeling as a form of locomotion.[69]
