Where can I find the rules for the RoboMagellan contest and who should I contact to clarify them? Will the contest be held at the same location as last year? ...
You can find the rules for Robo-Magellan at: <http://robothon.org/Robothon2004/challenge.html> The contest will be at the Seattle Center again in 2005, the...
Why don't you ask for donations (parts and supplies, not necessarily just money)? I'm sure there are plenty of us who would be glad to help a teacher out, and...
I was given one as a gift. I'd say all of Karl's comments are accurate. The first thing I noticed was that with partially used batteries it won't work. I...

I had just looked at the rules and there is a statement that they would be revised soon after the contest. Is that now done so these are the official rules for...

Is there (or should there be) a link on the SRS website for a list of wants and haves? This would be a list where people, such as Susan, who want stuff others...

Are you looking at the latest rules? You should have had to download a PDF file which has the latest rules, which include the changes made after the first...
Hey all, I just made a small order from Solarbotics, and made the mistake of clicking on some of their links for Sherline stuff. I guess I'd better start ...
I think a lot of the erector set parts are down with a sherrer and a punch press machine. That and the plastic parts are done with molds. CNC could do it.....
Just a little more about liquid plastics; there are grades that can be used for gears and moving parts. There are also several finishes available; from mat,...

Someone on AHRC brought PicAxe chips to my attention before Christmas. I am thinking of using PicAxe chips on some Olimex development boards from sparkfun as a...
I too have been lusting over these things lately. Unfortunately, I live in a condo downtown, so it's a bit problematic...theoretically I have the space, but...
Good questions, and I share 'em too. :) I have made the mistake of buying some tools that were too cheap and not suited to what I want to do. Also, I want...
We are making plans to rent or sell our Virginia Highlands condo, $200k if intrested. I need to find a room-mate situation or an inexpensive property (under ...
I ordered mine from PHAnderson and got 5 of the smaller chips for $15 including shipping. He only charged me $1.85 (I think) shipping instead of the $3.xx it...
is it likely that a cheap bulletin board from a craft store would be real cork, or some static-hogging synthetic? I ususally do my soldering work on a metal...
I'm assuming this is a CNC mill? mostly what mills are good for is making 3-d parts with straight lines. If you wanted to make very specific connector...
I'm mainly just dreaming, and I don't even know what a lot of the tools are called and how to use them. It's pretty silly to think about spending more than...
If you have to have it that long, you might look for an old computer cable somewhere--any kind of data cable, mouse cable, whatever, that you can cut up and...
Not true. CNC these days isn't that far out there... it can be done in several ways. If you are talking about a sherline, a stepper has the power needed to...
... Hi, John, I wanted to start with "Dear Santa,". :) I find myself again overwhelmed with the generosity here. Thanks for asking. Any donations of...
Thanks, Ringo. I will check PhAnderson again. It just seemed his markup (to pay his students and website) was high but I could be misfiguring the exchange...
I too found the cold heat solding iron to be similarly worthless. It might make an interesting stun-gun. -Justin R. http://ratliff7.tripod.com In a message...

If it doesn't say "anti-static," assume it is totally-static. :-) The bulletin board is probably just an insulator; it's an expensive addition to make it...

OK, I'm constructing my first "multi-layered" robot. One new problem I'm going to have to deal with is the best way to move signals between layers. For...
