I'll get some pics up soon... I built a new 'bot this weekend, which is
identical to the 'bot at home--except the gripping mechanism which seems to
be better. When I get home (I'm in Toronto right now, visiting the better
looking half), either tonite or tomorrow night, I'll attach it to the 'puter.
Here's the sad news--digital cameras and ceramic floors don't mix.
Yes, after 4.5 years and 8000 pictures, my Kodak DC120 is *slightly* damaged
:( Oh, it still takes pictures (as far as I can tell), but the digital
display on the back of the camera is broken :( By the way, if any
technophile has contacts with anybody who may have old digital cameras, I
need a display for my DC120.
So there you are.
I'll take pics of my 'bot later today and upload them.
