New Robot!
Hunter Lloyd, CS Department's robotics professor introduced one of his new robots
to students at Beaverhead County High School in Dillon, September 29, 2014. The new
robot (he's the green one on the right) still doesn't have a name, but maybe students
can give him suggestions. Hunter also has a new NAO robot, like Looney, but blue.
To see a photograph, go to Looney's Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/looneytherobot.
