Eep! Iain built a Davish 'Bot!!!!!!
Whereas Dave built an Iain wannabe 'bot...
Hmmmm.....
Anyway, I'll try to get pics of my 'bot up this weekend, if I have time.
I have 3 mods build for the train show, which are already factored into the
layout, but i wouldn't mind getting the other 3 built before the show and
have a bigger train yard. If not, oh well ;)
I also want to get the 'bot connected up with the webcam but so much to do.
Doing the programming now for the 'bot is proving difficult with older
firmware. So I ordered RIS 2.0 upgrade and will be able to do arrays as
soon as it shows!!! Yipee!!!

| WHEE! So concepts 1, 2, 3, and four have ALL FAILED for me. Everything always ends up being too lightweight or too flimsy. Result? SCREW LIGHTWEIGHT FAST THINGS. I have now created the largest robot I've ever built. It's totally redundantly strong. (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
