I have created a new site as a reference for educators using RoboLab in the
classroom. I would love to have some of you visit the site and provide
feedback.
At present we have only a few examples, but we are working on adding many
more. The most exciting project in progress now is our BridgeBot. This is
a two RCX bot that must cross over a 10" gap.
We also have information about our annual Robotics contest we sponsor for
College, High School, and Middle School students. The site changes daily
and you will always find some new tip or robotic information. Check it out at:
http://faculty.ivy.tec.in.us/~scombs/robotics
You will also find a link to it from my lugnet page at:

I prefer the objective oriented competitions. Maze solvers, find a
can and bring it back. That sort of thing. The RCX hasn't been out
long enough for folk to have mastered the art of agression on one I
think.
Also, it has been suggested around here that a get together to exchange
"best practices" and such is a good idea. Especially before any kind of
competition takes place.
just an idea,

I had originally posted (about 1 month ago) that I would be willing to
set up an informal Robot-Arena style competition in the LA Area for
March 17th 1999.
Haven't gotten much responses/entries....Actually, got only one response
from someone who just wanted to bring his kid and watch! Nope, no
combat minded Mindstorms builders/hackers out there in the LA area
apparently!
Darn. Anyhoo...if there is no interest as expressed via email to:
dcchen@pacbell.net by, uh, March 12, I plan to cancel. Maybe next time,
not so close to taxes...
If anyone is still interested, please e-mail me. Would another time be
better?
