Well, mostly ready--I put the 'bot together during SNL last night... Anyway, with much further ado and fanfare-- (URL) it! If you have ideas for improving or enhancing the RoboCam'Bot, or other ideas for a web controlled 'bot, drop me a line. Take (...)

(...) I can sketch something for you and email it. Before I do that, though, what's the difference between the two sets of controls on each side? The inner ones rotate it on its axis, but I'm not sure what the outer ones do. (21 years ago, 29-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

To keep things simple for the user, you can get rid of the outer set of buttons because those are really only appropriate when you have a joystick-type interface and the latency between the user and the robot isn't so (...)
