OpenCV is really cool and I’m looking to use it in some projects. In particular I’d like to see OpenCV + LinuxCNC + Kinematics + the robot arm all working together. Incredible possibilities there.
The flight-simulator is a cool project idea. I’m not personally interested in building one, but I know there are plenty of fanatics online who build very elaborate setups. I don’t think it’s something that could live at the hackspace as it would need quite a bit of dedicated space.
