Project
RoboSwarm 1.0
The Art Of A.I.
Jan. 8, 2006

These are the design documents which are used during this project. All project members will be given a printout of the design documents listed here except for the 3 large files(***).   These two files are over 1000pages combined, so we only plan to have one printout available for each at the workshops. You can download these files to keep them as offline reference material. You might want to get a notebook to have a place to put your notes and hold all of these documents during the workshop.
