Dan, I think definate progress could be made in leaps and bounds if we were able to focus on what we are doing. First major step in my mind is to finalize the...

Hi. I don't expect it would be simple, but it must be possible to use two audio streams to determine the relative position (and maybe velocity) of audio...
At work, we do lots of stuff relating to echo cancellation, which is kind of related. I suspect that you'll need to use a DSP, and use something called ...
Hello All, I just wanted to comment about what we were talking about at the meeting today. I would really like to have more "building" sessions, either after...
I'm going to be placing a Digikey order for a bunch of sensors and other parts. Anyone else want anything? The advantage of a "group buy" is to simply spread...
The parallel port is a great interface to use for various hobby activities: read sensor pins, drive LEDs, etc. Imagine merging your robotics project with your...
... at ... Saturday? ... I'm not altogether sure what a building session is (do we all buy a kit and build it together, or just get together and work on our...
Hi Clinton, ... The idea of a building session would be to just bring whatever you're working on and work away. You get a couple of hours (or whatever) to work...
I missed the meeting again. I have been out of town this time. A building session sounds like an interesting idea. Factoring in travel time and packing stuff...
Hi Dan, I live in Cloverdale (which is part of Surrey), so that could work for me. I know Scott lives in Surrey. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada ...
That works for me too. I am in Langley, and that isn't too big of a haul. Scotty is in Surrey too. ... travel time ... I have ... Kwantlen ... depends on...
This building session idea sounds great. I live in Port Moody (am I just an odd man out?) Nonetheless, I am used to taking inordinate amounts of time to bus...
I have been on vacation. I noticed a note on the door when I went into work today that says it will be closed on Saturdays for the rest of the summer. It looks...
Hi Bob, Thanks for the links and the tip. I'm looking forward to trying it out. So much to learn and so little time!! Especially in the summer. Hope to see...
So I finally build a couple of custom sumos. Standard stuff like GP12's,12GN's, line sensors, etc. I really thought this would be an interesting fun thing to...
Hi Radek, Raw traction certainly helps, but I think raw speed is actually better. My eventual goal is to build a sumo bot which is initially evasive, and ...
I am newer than you and I have not built anything yet but I was at the last competition. From what I saw there and from what I see on the web there are other...
Hmmm, hadn't seen givio.sys before. Looks to be quite similar to UserPort. Both are quite different than InpOut32 in as much as those other tools provide...
Every robot design has it advantages and disadvantages. What you need to do is learn how to exploit them. Software can be a very powerful tool that can be...
The line maze, is it some electrical tape or something like that configured on any floor into corridors or is it intersecting lengths of tape? I assume the...
Hi Radek, We normally meet on the second Sunday of the month at BCIT (except when it's Mother's Day). See: http://www.vancouverroboticsclub.org/ for room...
Well, like anything else in life there is an end to the fun sometime. ... I still find sumo interesting for the reasons that Pete outlined: additional sensor...
