a bit of a late post; but Happy black history month fellow robloxians!!!!!!!!!

This year's Black History Month is especially important as this year marks the 100th celebration of it, ever since it was founded by Dr. Carter G. Woodsen in 1926! During this time, I implore you all to research Black History, engage with black music, support black artists, and uplift your fellow black robloxians in our community during this month!!

Some resources related to Blackness in roblox!: Amazing community on Roblox showcasing many Black creators! Thread on whitewashing black-coded characters (specifically about PHIGHTING!, but it is very applicable to other characters!) Some older posts I made about racism in the roblox community [ one | two | three ]

If you have any ethnicity or general headcanons about Black Roblox characters (confirmed or headcanoned), please send them in!! I'd love to hear!!!!!

Technical University of Madrid (Spain) (06/25/13)  An unconventional motion mode has enabled a robot prototype to conduct missions in wild environments. A team from the Technical University of Madrid's Robotics and Cybernetics Research Group has developed a land mobile vehicle that has no wheels or legs. ROSPHERE, a single spherical form, scrolls by itself to conduct missions and is inherently stable. A single ball, ROSPHERE seemingly moves without any external force, and its locomotion can be compared to the ball of hamsters. Spherical robots generally have numerous motion systems, and ROSPHERE has a pendulum system that has a capacity of two independent motions, and this internal mechanism can conduct straight movements as well as curvilinear motion that is similar to a car. The researchers found the robot to be suitable for rolling and gathering information on crops, and for monitoring farming techniques. Further work on its autonomous navigation and mechanical strength could increase the potential applications of the robot.
