Samuel Cox , a creator who tangible himself as a blend of " design, ideas and technology ", has invented a mint contest for digital citizens: Digilympics .
From his website:
2012 is not usually the year of the Olympics, but moreover the launch of the initial ever 'Digilympics', a twitter-powered race for sporting success where you establish the outcome. Four Lego athletes pierce down a earthy racetrack as fans Tweet their group to pierce them serve towards the complete line.
Starting currently (07/18/2012), the Digilympics will be a two-week eventuality as the 4 teams " UK, US, Canada and Japan " vie is to prestigious Digilympics Gold Medal.
The contest is open to any person on the web, permitting them to Tweet their group to success using a of 4 unique Twitter accounts ( UK_Digi , US_Digi , CA_Digi JP_Digi ). Tweets in encouragement of a specific account will pierce that country's competitor physically along a running track.
After each race, the group victories are available and contestants return to the starting line. At the end of the week the group who has won the many races will be since the Gold Medal online at digilympics.com
Under the hood, this humorous race is enabled by a Processing draw that seeks for Twitter replies on each account: a new respond triggers a motor-shield versed Arduino board, that provides the transformation to each athlet.
More data may be found here . And… let's beginning twitting for your prime team! ^^
