hey, I was wondering if any of you have any combat robots(battlebots). I am planning on making one and I was wondering if their were any other builders in the...
Dear KrazyKanucks2001, We don't have any combat robots in the club yet (the cost of the arena is prohibitive), but there is an ant-weight combat group in the...
These guys: http://www.westernalliedrobotics.com/index.html Seem to have several different weight divisions in the Seattle area. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC,...

Just a little annoyed about the fact that these guys are still writing hundreds of thousands of lines of specialized code, I thought they had moved beyond that...
Hi, As many of you know I designed a Handyboard type controller recently. I now have the revision 2 boards which I am extremely happy with. I want to get rid...
Crap I'm still waiting to see the program. It wasn't shown at the time I was expecting (got something else on tape instead). Their website says its on again on...
Hello Everyone, I also missed the Sunday showing, but could they be emulating an analog neural-network in a digital computer? I programmed one some years ago ...
The radiotronix guy called me at work regarding some recent sample I had purchased. They appear to be eager to get invloved with "the little guy" and are...
Hello Everyone, Congratulations on last Sunday's demonstrations, I hope all your robots are ready! This Sunday's schedule is as follows: 9:30 Doors open at...

guess this is a bit late but it would have a good home as a multi-server/audio equipment housing if dave feels generous, Arthur Hazleden ... ...
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that came out (either to help, compete, or spectate) on Sunday for the VRC competition. This was our largest...
Hi All, I agree with Dave on the first point. Maybe for the next event we could get alittle more time to introduce the crowd to the different types of robots...
Yes I agree this event was really quite good. Thanks to everyone! I think both of these suggested improvements are quite good. Other things I can think of: 1....
I like the workshop idea prior to the competition. What ever happened to the VRC t-shirts you guys were talking about awhile back. That would certainly...
Hello Everyone, I wrote up the press release with the help of Science World and personally gave a copy to news agencies that had expressed interest in the...
I think being at science world helped a lot. People that are really interested in robotics will find us on the web. The room that we had at Scienece World was...
Media coverage is an interesting thing. I organize the Robothon down in Seattle. The general media (newspapers and TV stations) are always interested in...
Hi All, To those interested. http://scottydogma.solarbotics.net/VRCgames03/ I was pretty busy...but managed to get a few pictures of people and bots, and some...

MessageHi Dave, I'll have to take a closer look. I know that Dylana's sumo ( SpongeBob) takes 5 sec's....I just timed it on my desk, out of 4 times it was 5...
Hi Paul, I think the local community newspapers might be a good avenue (rather than the big media machines), and probably signs up at SFU, UBC, BCIT, etc....
Occurred to me while driving home tonight - we could have a small area for "Suggested Reading" or "How to get Started" - I noticed there were lots of parents...
Scotty, Dave, I never thought to look at the start time as besides cosmetics and motor changes the kit is the basic from Solarbotics. We will look at this...
