# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (Feb 27, 2012)

The log was relatively quiet with limited substantive discussion, but contained a few notable points:

• A user shared a working chemical formula parser deployed on Heroku (http://blooming-night-9861.herokuapp.com/parse), discussing implementation challenges related to JRuby and Java libraries.

• A participant shared homemade tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) electrodes with an image link, asking for feedback on their quality.

• There was a brief discussion about a $4,000 robotic arm from Robai with 3mm accuracy, which participants considered overpriced for its capabilities.

• Someone shared an interesting perspective on "robot ethics" articles, suggesting replacing "robot" with "human" in such discussions reveals insights or comedic parallels about how we frame ethical questions.

• A user inquired about experiments with plants and RGB LEDs, though no responses were recorded in the log.

• A Stanford event was mentioned at the end of the log, linked to a Facebook event page.
