I bought a metal detector circuit kit to do the same thing. Even though the kit was a good value (around $15), it requires a radio. A little dismayed (since I don't want to add a metal detector AND radio to a bot), I searched the net for schematics (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi, I thought of a new project and would like some input on the idea. My idea is to set up a sand box and hide objects to simulate land mines. My thought was to have a robot search for the hidden mines. My question is, how can I get the robot to (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Cool. Like Paul said, the first thing I thought of when I saw it was "racing boat". The shape of it is really pleasing. I think that the sporadic black and antifreeze bits detract a bit from the model. I makes an otherwise clean design look kind of (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)

John, While I think the ship looked good the way it was (yeah, if it were to *really* fly thru space it might get ripped up, and maybe "fighter" wasn't the best description for it), this is even better. I think it's fine just the way it is now. Maye (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)
