Jeff, Sorry you won't be able to make it. Your bot sure looked good speeding down the hall last month. Leaf is still "not ready for prime time". However, the...
I'm looking forward to Saturday's RSSC meeting, and am sorry that Jeff can't come this time. I'll bring my contest robot and test it in the hallway. Here is a...
Those guys from Sharper Image won't give up on the robots. Good for them! This vacuum cleaner is taller than Roomba, which is bad, but the dust bin looks much...
Hi, We're looking at a camera scheme that does stereo vision by moving the camera laterally. Seems like the print head driver for a printer might be easy to...

I'm not sure about how many Sumo bot comps they have down there, but up here in the Northwest there are dozens of competitions and thousands of robots. Our...
Thanks for the info Dan!! That Nano Sumo looks pretty interesting, just might have to put that one on the build list now - right between my Parallax Mini Sumo...
Tony, Nano Sumos are a real challenge, but there's just something about tiny robots that catches my interest. I hope to see you at RoboMaxx, -Dan ... one on...
Hello, I have been lurking for a while, but I have a question so I have come out of the shadows. I am interested in pattern recognition. What should I read to...
Jeff, We never did reply to your request AFTER the meeting. Only two of us were working on robots for the contest. Jim Ubersetzig is continuing to develop...
Russell, You asked for a pattern recognition overview, but if you're going to tackle a computer vision project, you might be better served by a text on that...
Anybody else in the area planning on going to RoboMaxx in October? Hopefully by the time it comes around I should have 2 Mini Sumos ready to run. Tony...
Dan, I just finished reading your manual for the Sumo11 - looks like a great bot!! I just wish I would have seen the 1SORC site and the Sumo11 before I ordered...
Tony, It's really all a matter of taste, I learned on a 68HC11 processor so that's why I developed around it. The best robot board I ever used was the MIT...

Well, I just saw iRobot and sure enough, the entire robot repair scene was cut. Somewhere on a cutting room floor in LA lie strips of film that contain a would...
Dan, I went to see I Robot yesterday looking for glimpses of robots built by members of the various clubs and groups I belong to but alas, not a one was to be...
They sure spent a lot of money to not even use the footage. Their loss, my gain. -Dan ... by members of the various clubs and groups I belong to but alas, not...
Hi, I have seen references to a switching voltage regulator that is a drop in replacement for 78 series linear regulators. But, I can't find it now. Can...
