Quote: Since moving into my dorm this last fall, my roommate RJ Ryan and I have been working on creating the most elaborate automation system we could envision. Featuring everything from web control, voice activation, and a security system, to large continuously running information displays, electric blinds, and one-touch parties, the custom designed MIDAS Automation System has brought ease to our lives (if one doesn't count all the time it took to actually build and program the system).
They had time to do it because their dorm was only 3x3. Let me guess how they thought about it, they got locked in for two weeks and couldn't do anything else. Obviously, they'll try to market it to someone but I'm not too sure what kind of market they'll end up with.
I'll give credit with their efforts and patience, but there's nothing real special about the place. d
To be honest however those are sort of projects are what gets you jobs though. And it has been mentioned a number of times to us at RMIT by employers - they love this sort of stuff.
