Hi all My website renos contest is now into the voting stage, so if you haven't voted or taken a sticky beak at the sites that entered, then go and have a look...
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...
Hello all, I am new to the group, I signed up after u finished last time, I to am starting to get into robotics more. I am thinking of starting to build a ...
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...
Yea I agree hold some competitions, get the ball rolling with some activity. From: robot_sig@yahoogroups.com [mailto:robot_sig@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
Hi Guys This SIG used to run regular competitions - other members may recall also. If you're interested in a competition that would suit hobby roboticists then...
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...
I've put a photo of my current robot in the 'photos' section. It's about 30x30cm, uses a cheap RC crazy car (called ugly predator) as the base with all the...
Well, that shouldn't have any problems with bumps in the track. My own one is still a work in progres, but I have recently started work on it again. It is also...
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...
Anyone interested in robot combat (call it what you like) can find more information at http://www.robowars.org/ ... From: Gordon Wyeth To:...

I suspect you won't find too many takers here - at least not for the destructive variety you see on TV. :) I think a couple of the guys had messed around with...
Maybe it's snobbish (and not taking anything at all away from the construction/integration skills of the robot wars contestants - which in some cases is truly...
... Further suggestions. Keep-going-with/resurect the stock car and maybe even sumos. A micromouse competition ? We could possibly even see if we could...
I'm pretty sure the reason we didn't have a micro-mouse comp was the difficultly of building a suiatble maze. Other than that it would be nice - some...
That would be awesome having bot races for stock cars that would take some doing :P From: robot_sig@yahoogroups.com [mailto:robot_sig@yahoogroups.com] On...
But building a micromouse maze is easy - if you go about it the right way! For the base you just need plain boards with 1080 3mm holes drilled in 'diamonds',...
Before the committee members became to busy with life in general and the regular meetings ceased, we were going to align ourselves with UQ and become active...
