A personal project page featuring an evolutionary football simulator and a Bluetooth-controlled Lego Porsche rebuilt with an STM32 board.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-20 issue.

For: People curious about DIY robotics and evolutionary algorithms
Worth noticing: The football simulator uses 16 teams of five players, each controlled by a small neural network.

Field notes

The football simulator is described as a competition among 16 teams of five, with each player’s network turning a pitch position into a reaction. The page says an evolutionary algorithm keeps slightly better performers over successive generations. The car project names an STM32F4Discovery board and Bluetooth control, while the page marks additional projects and notes as forthcoming.
