Let's try this again.
This Thursday (July 22nd) a couple of my robots are going to appear on
G4TechTV's The Screen Savers.
I built two robots that can play Hasbro's Connect Four against a person, or each
other.
The first robot, Full Contact, was designed for a contest where it had to play
an autonomous game of Connect Four against another robot. It won that event,
and also won a gold medal at ROBOlympics in March.
Here's the web site, with a few pictures and descriptions of the robot:

The second robot is a totally different design, that uses the same logic
software as "Full Contact", but the electronics are limited to parts included in
the Mindstorms RIS. It will play a competitive game of Connect Four using just
1 RCX, 1 light sensor, 2 touch sensors, and 2 motors.

The show will air at 7:00 EST on Thursday, and again at 12:00 EST on Friday (I
think)

If you don't get G4TechTV, call your local cable company... I mean just wait a
few days I hope to have a link to the video on my web site.
