This sounds like so much fun. Not only do you get to play with Lego, but you get
to be the knight in shining armour too!

*Jealous*


The IRB 140 is soooooooooooooo cute!  I'm going to go up to
one and give it a hug today.

Well, I could do that every day at work if I wanted to, but I'm sure I would get
some wierd looks :)

I threw together a delta
really quick late last week when I found out I'd get to take the course and
I'm going to take it in at the end of the week to show the teacher.  I asked
if they had a FlexPicker at their facility and he said no but the head
programmer in all of North America who does the FlexPicker is in that
facility.  So maybe I will get to meet him!  The programming language is so
similar to NQC.  Thanks LEGO!  Without that background I'd be clueless.

I credit a lot of what I know about gears to Lego. I credit a lot of what I know
about industrial robotics to you.
