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...

Hi all. Just wondering if there was any activity? I'm starting to get back into the robotics stuff, trying to avoid the mistakes I made last time (too ...
I'm still alive. More than willing to help you out making PCBs - or even with electronic design if you need some pointers. THOUGH - If you want me to do...

Hi Quinn, Thought it best to start a new thread to discuss your idea. First up (and don't take this as criticism), be careful biting off too much initially. I...
Ok maybe it's a bit to much to start with, but I am wanting to do something, I am sick of sitting around doing nothing. From: robot_sig@yahoogroups.com...
Full agreement from me about what Linus said about starting small. If you don't know a reasonable amount about electronics and programming - it is easy to bite...
Yea I am from Brisbane. And yea sunsetcoders means what it sounds like. Although from what I am seeing C++ is the language I am learning next. I read that on a...
I fully agree with Linus' two main points: 1) start small, 2) have a specific goal. Would there be any interest in competitions like what they do in the States...

Good on you Gordon for your kind gesture. Us adults would get our butts kicked by the students. I guarantee it.! I always wanted to get the group involved in...
It looks to me like the soccer and rescue+ events are cool. My current robot is a tad too big and outdoorsy for those tasks, but if there is some sort of...

Linus, If you need help with PCB etching I can lend a hand there. I can normaly do 10/10thou double sided boards. But if you have smaller chips I can get...
Yeah, the brain is the real challenge, isn't it? Mind you, my handy skills are low enough to make a base a challenging proposition, but the software is where...
Anyone up for some robot wars? Like u seen on tv? From: robot_sig@yahoogroups.com [mailto:robot_sig@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Marcin Sent: Wednesday,...
Defintely not!! Robot wars are remote control vehicles - not robots! Build some real robots, and make them do something good not evil! Anyone up for some robot...
