I wasn't sure why the the robot made the fingers up then bend each one down till they are all down then moved the two outside ones to 1/3rd positions. Maybe...
A rather strange application for robotics. http://robotcombat.com/video/elvis_hi.mov This is also good. Perhaps it's time for some robot wars in OZ. ...
I'd be disappointed to see the ACS Robotics SIG get involved with this rubbish. These are remote control toys - not robots. I hope that the SIG continues to...
I agree about the glorified remote controlled toys. I've always had a problem with spending so much effort on a project only to have to destroyed. However it...
Hi Aaron The term robots was first used by the inventor of this hobby and is the name by which it is known internationally. I would prefer it to be called...

I know me and Chris P. are keen to start up meetings again. As for me, I'm not sure if I can get much work done in a month on the robot. Maybe we should change...
Good tilt sensing is a pain. The problem with electronic gyros is that they detect rate of change of tilt, not the actual tilt. You can numerically integrate...
Hi Gordon, thank you very much for you comments. I am a recently retired Electrical Engineer and took on this project to keep me amused. I understand what you...
Thanks Nick. You don't remember any device numbers do you by any chance? Neville ... I have some electronic gyroscopes which I got as samples from some where....

Perhaps a once a quarter meeting on the weekend during the day for an afternoon or morning until we get things rolling again. Anything is better than nothing...
Hi Neville, Have a read of this paper describing their implementation of the inverted pendulum. Equations included, but I guess if you are EE then the maths...
Not endorsing this, just interesting. Aaron ... Subject: Economical single-camera localization and object tracking software for robotics and other projects ...
I just love this. Classic. Almost as good as the Americans inventing the pen that can write upside down for space travel, when the Russians used pencils. ...
I think that the page he references (http://tlb.org/scooter.html - which also curiously references that page, and is how I came across his rant in the first...
