[swift-users] Robotics with Swift

[Austin Zheng]

This is great news! I have a BBB and a RC truck I've been meaning to build
a robot out of this summer, and this gives me an option to interface with
the hardware besides the Python interface.

Brad Larson (https://twitter.com/bradlarson) works at a company called
SonoPlot that makes robots for research applications, and I believe he's
written a few blog posts on how switching to Swift made the software
driving those robots more robust (e.g.

)
