It's time to think of a game for your robot to play -- the next SMART meeting is only 10 days away! What kinds of game would you like to have your robot play? Something physical (baseball?), something with props (cards?), something purely (...) (18 years ago, 9-May-07, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

(...) Hi Steve, I think you are assuming this is my 'bot. This was just something I found on YouTube. I have a Micromouse robot in the works so I will attempt to answer your questions based on my experience. I believe it is flashing the LEDs in an (...)

I have built a small, 4 x 6, micromouse arena and uploaded a few pictures. I will bring this maze to the next meeting. The maze: (URL) Note, it will be very tight to build a LEGO robot that can navigate the maze, but I'm sure it can be done. For (...) (18 years ago, 26-Apr-07, to lugnet.org.us.smart, FTX)

The next SMART meeting is only a month away, on May 19. We will be back at our usual location in DigiPen for this meeting. There are two mini-challenges you can build robots for.

Just in the nick of time, the day before Easter, I completed building a 4-colour NXT Easter egg painting robot. I started building it several months ago, when I thought I'd have plenty of time before Easter. Of course, at about the 85% complete (...)

One more week until our next SMART meeting. Just a reminder that we'll be meeting at the Renton Technical College instead of our usual location. This is because Gus and I are giving a presentation on the NXT at the SRS meeting in the morning. You (...) (18 years ago, 10-Mar-07, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

I'm forwarding this from the Washington FLL yahoo group. I would consider doing this but at this time I'm not sure what weeks this summer I will be in the Seattle area.

Inspired by the gentleman selling NXTs for $200 (I didn't have a checkbook with me or I probably would have got one), I did some searching on the web (I think I used Froogle) and found them for $199.99 from A Child's Delight, a toy store in (...) (18 years ago, 30-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

What a terrific meeting we had yesterday! I was really blown away by all the walking robots people built. There were 7 fully working robots, and many other prototypes that people brought as well.
