Don't forget to join us for our monthly robotics meeting - remember they are now on Saturday at SFSU, NOT on Wednesday at the Exploratorium. Date: Saturday,...
Hey Everyone! I would like to get a virtual show of hands on who would be interested in touring the Nummi car factory. I would schedule it for June or July if...
Greetings everyone, My name is Bruce and I work for Siemens VDO Automotive in Troy, Michigan (a suburb of Detroit, the Motor City :). I am a software ...
Registration is now open for PDXBOT.03, sponsored by the Portland Area Robotics Society (PARTS) and the Portland State University student chapter of the IEEE,...
Jack, I haven't been making it to meetings very often. Maybe this will be an excuse to show up next month. Can you put a file with the rules, The target...
Greetings Human "Pardners", Here is a Robotics Society of America (RSA) Legacy Web Site robot news update: My Robot Mediameister cohort in Japan, ROBODEX2003...

Hi Bruce, What kind of precision, repeatability and control are you looking for? You might consider looking at some of the desktop CNC mini-mills (Sherline,...
Are you a 68hc11 user? Do you like the Botboard, or how 'bout the Handyboard? Have you used either of these and wished that the Botboard had more capabilities,...
Take a look at the CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO group at groups.yahoo.com. Plenty of people have built something similar. You could probably even use a low-budget CNC ...
The room that we will hold the ongoing competition in is the same room that we have been meeting in at SFSU. I cannot give exact dimensions but I would say...
Check out the XY tables at http://www.robotics.com/xy.html to see if they meet your needs.. brief look shows a max payload of 10 lbs (4.5 kg) and middle size...
This will be a somewhat different perspective on make versus buy. If you can buy an XY platform, with electronics, drive motors and documentation and if there...
hello, i don't understand.... why don't you just have several cameras instead? and use clever software to interpolate... but then again i have no idea what...
Heh - you hit the nail on the head. Several cameras is how they do it today. They also have a dedicated test system for each different cluster. They'd like...
Oh - I agree with you 100% - I'd rather buy than build. But, not to the tune of 10 grand. So far, I've received some very helpful responses from this group. ...

well the image recognition might be easy if we knew some environment variables.. do the 'clusters' come in random placements? (ok...i dont' even know what you...
If any of you happen to be looking for a pretty decent drive motor for a robot platform, you might check out these motors. They would be pretty ideal for a...
If you use Eudora, this is the coolest thing ever: spamnix.com It's not 100%, but it is about 90% effective out of the box. You build rules which help...
Hi Jack, If you are interested in these motors you might also want to look at the Escap motor that the Robot Combat Marketplace sells as an ant motors. ...
for a wheel chair configuration robot do the wheels always have to be straight across from each other? well because i wish to compete in micromouse and the...
I'll get two replys with one stone here... Terry, You could check out the L298N H-bridge chip. It can handle up to 55 Volts and 3 Amps. That is what I am...
After a lot of phone tag with Nummi, I have finally arranged for a factory tour. It is on Tuesday August 12 at 1:00 PM. I am including the e-mail that they...
Thanks Jack, I just put some L298's on order. I couldn't find them locally (Northbay). I just hope they get here in time for me to be ready for the next...
