So here I am at work in Burlington at 10:55 a.m., looking forward to dinner at Mels. However, by 11:00 a.m. on Friday the 13th (go figure), I was on the road to Windsor, Ontario (3 hours away). It seems that the issues the branch was strugging with (...) (22 years ago, 14-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I agree wholeheartedly with Derek. The Library would be a good place for the vending machines. I probably wouldn't be able to build a vending machine by November. I am focussed right now on building my fire extinguishing robot. Rob "Derek Raycraft" (...) (22 years ago, 12-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I'm going to be in Montreal instead of Mel's. Go figure. But here's what I do: I put as much weight over the drive wheels as possible. This improves traction. I use a 2x2 round plate with the curved, smooth bottom, the one used on boats in Town. Or (...) (22 years ago, 12-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I like the idea of having Vending Machines in March for two reasons. I think it will fit well with a library sponsored event were we can show off lots of different robotic designs. Its something they can promote easily. Its something that can run (...) (22 years ago, 11-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Calum, If I understand the goal of the vending machine idea correctly then I would think it would be ideally suited for the event sponsored by the Library. What I mean is if there is active participation for the audience by interacting with the (...) (22 years ago, 11-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
