Anyone with robotics experience I can brain-pick?

No bud we backed out found a few moisture issues. Supposed to be closing in on another but the stress is making me want to crawl into a hole with a beer, spending $600k on anything is enough to turn your brain inside out

But when the robots start arming themselves with brain-picks, THEN we are in trouble.

Good luck with that, man.  :cheers:

I'm hoping to one day have time to get back into my robotics hobby. I've built some robots from kits some years back.
This one is one of my best ones: Ikariya.

It can be driven around by a PlayStation 2 controller, or walk around autonomously, using it's sonar to avoid obstacles (like in the first video.)

It's a kit from  http://www.lynxmotion.com, but modded with sonars and lights. I also wrote the code for autonomous navigation and added it in to the sample program (which was for PS2 controller use only). The processor chip is called a Basic Atom Pro.



Another video showing off the lights (this was under PS2 controller.)



You'd be surprised how many times I used spare parts from my robot stuff (all conveniently stored in a fishing tackle box I bought) when i built my arcade cabinet and other various projects.

Why is it that robots that move on legs like crabs always look a bit creepy and those that scoot around on wheels and look like mice or other furry mammals are cute?   Is it an aversion to spiders or something?
