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...

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...

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...

The old robotics sig website is still up, and it has the rules. http://robotsig.org/comp2002/car_rules02.php Anyone know the condition of the track? Last I saw...
Something that I've previously thought would be really interesting, would be a robot triathlon - where the same _physical_ robot has to compete in three events...
Hi, I think just one event at a time for now. Let's try crawling and then walk later. I've still got a dodgy stock car. It might go around the track. I've got...
How about we arrange a meeting and see where ppls interest lay From: robot_sig@yahoogroups.com [mailto:robot_sig@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of uqpniels Sent:...
... I'm still here. I'm now president of the Gold Coast RoboCup Junior committee and we are lobbying to have the National RoboCup Junior comp to be held at the...
Yes one at a time is always a good idea. The concept of using a standardised base for multiple comps is to reduce the time, effort and cost of physical...
Hi I still have the stockcar starting lights and IR controller. I gave the track to Mark Benjamin (should be still lurking on this list) whom also had a...
Now that I think of it, I have 3 blank handyboard PCBs and interface PCBs I have some bits including the HC11s and several other key bits as well I think. ...
... I still have the layouts and code for the starting lights if anyone wants me to make them one for playing with. I doubt the interest would be high. But I ...
Hey everyone, I thought I'd throw in a diversion with my thoughts of Robocup Junior held at UNSW last weekend. I went for about 2 hours on Saturday afternoon,...
Hi Marcin Excellent post. Thank you for that. I went to one about 3 years ago at UQ here in Brisbane, and it was very much far from novice as you say. Some of...
No worries. It's a great event, and I'm going to encourage my daughter's school to look into it seriously (although I know that all the lego and robolab don't...
Hey everyone. Just wondering, how many people in this group are actually currently (or have in the last, say, 3 months) building or desigining robots?...
Hey Group, Long time reader first time poster :) I have not done anything robotics for a while, but all this traffic is starting to create interest. I think my...
