Not directly microcontroller related, but most members will probably find this utterly fascinating. Watch the whole thing (esp. the Pong game):

    There is a fine line between arrogance and confidence. Make sure you don't cross it...

    Many, many folks have told me the *exact* same thing when they see all my 'bots and kinetic art pieces, etc., so I'm hardly one to talk smile.gif. Also, while it isn't clear, I'm pretty sure this was underwritten in some form by Samsung to promote their LEDs and such... I think the sheepherding dogs should get most of the credit anyway.

    Too much time on their hands? It looks like Samsung was sponsoring it, and I'm sure they got a nice little reward for it! Through the whole thing, I'm thinking "Whoa... These are some wealthy shepards...". Samsung's sponsorship makes sense.

    VERY cool!

    My partner did a little poking around -- turns out a lot of these folks are also "competition" sheep herders, a lot like competition calf-roping, bronco-busting, cutting, etc. in the states, so they are *really* good at this kind of stuff and the dogs are highly valuable and saleable. Not a bad way to make a living, really smile.gif

    Remarkable, lots of time and effort put into this short video.

    I shared this with my co-workers, needless to so they were floored.
