While I know a few other people have done this before (even though I can't find anything online!), this is new to me. But I thought I'd give it a go anyway. This is my first attempt at doing a "pole-balancing" robot. It's hard! Suposedly there are (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.robotics)

For Live 1 is the puck going to be made of one wheel hub or two. I remember discussing this, but I can't remember the decision. The design of my hockey stick is kind of dependent on this. Derek (22 years ago, 19-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
