So Bruce, will the Lego community get better discounts on your products than
the general public?

The very first production units of JCX (http://jcx.systronix.com/) will be
displayed and demonstrated next week in Aarhus, Denmark, at this
conference: http://www.jaoo.dk/ so if any of you are in the area it would
be fun to meet.

We will be showing the JCX sensor and motor boards, JSimm.JStamp and JStik
brain boards, JSimm.DIO digital I/O board, and long-range (1 km) RF
peer-to-peer modems. We may also have a metal link robot arm using 6 R/C
servos and CMUcam for autonomous machine vision. All these systems will be
communicating over RF with XML data, and all will be running realtime
native-execution Java.

Yes, this implies that JCX is inching closer to commercial availability • (at
a pace that feels glacial to me). The first JCX commercial systems are
going to some select partners/developers, and to this class at the
University of Utah: http://www.cs.utah.edu/classes/cs4710/. We expect to
have a handful of this first run of systems for sale sometime in October,
available to the general Lego community. Full production should be • realized
later this fall (we're pedalling as fast as we can...)

I have tentative plans to appear at some Java and robotics groups across
the country, and I'll post a note to this list when those are definite.

(Thanks for letting me 'spam' this list once again on the topic of JCX
vaporware.)
