there are 24V chargers. you need do nothing fancy to get this to work. BUT, do not use std lead acid batteries. get some sealed gell cells instead. ... From: l...
Hi, I have been looking over squeak and other options for WEB GUI's. I don't know why I didn't think about WEB GUI's before, but hey, can't be super human all...
Kevin, The thread is now officially not new any longer, as you wish. I'll check out Fireworks later this weekend if I have a chance. Haven't used PHP, CGI or...
There are 24V SLA batteries used in electric wheelchairs that would work perfectly for your solution. The battery supplier could get you a 24V charger as well,...

I am Iyear student in Electronics & Comm. So I am virtually zero in Robotics. I want to participate in Robocon and work in Robotics field after graduation. ...
So, when you say you are a student in electronics and comm, do you mean in an engineering program? I did a degree in electrical engineering (1996-2000), and...
Kind of an offshoot of the Legs vs. Wheels argument. One of the most commonly talked about obstacles that a lot of people have trouble building robots to...
Wow, so true. There are more powerful servos, but industrial servos come with an industrial price. It seems the next step up both price wise and power wise is...
I wouldn't say that hobby servos are stunting robotics. The hobby servos is sort of causing a boom in interest in robotics. They are cheap, easy to control,...
easy to use air can be found here. http://www.clippard.com/ these are the same valves that are used on the bb-gun combat boats. AND, there is a local Seattle...
the attack of the servo is a shot not at the servo but the ingenuity of the designer. most anyone can remove the pot from the servo and place it outside the...
The basic premise is that one cannot prove things (theories) to be true, they can only be proven false. A corollary is: Theories are neither true nor false,...
Another point here .. Once you remove the pot from a servo, it's just a small gearhead motor. There are LOTS of great gearhead motors of all sizes available on...
Sure, have a look at the OpenServo project: http://www.openservo.com/ It is designed as a replacement board for standard servos, but it should be usable for...
HELLO EVERYBODY IM GOING TO USE LINE TRACKING METHOD FOR ROBOT LOCALIZATION WHERE I HEARED ABOUT SENSOR CALLED ZX80 BUT I DID NOT ANY INFORMATION ABOUT IT IN...

This is funny. The original post was about how the hobby servos is stunting robotics. Then we get replies about how to modifying servos to make them do...
Jeff has hit the bullseye. It would be great to see an amateur study of the balancing bot in which aspects of stability were characterized that could be...
Allow me to coin a new verb, "to robot." Seems like some folks, when they get the urge "to robot" sit down at their workbench and build, or sit down at their...
