Hi
I have been following this mailing list and the comp.robotics.misc news group
for quite a while now and I did notice that there seems to be a lack of good
quality and reasonably priced robot bases.
All the ones I saw where way overpriced or way to small to mount any real
hardware
I have been thinking on starting out a small home based mail order
business providing affordable robot bases to serve the robotics community and
would like to get some input from the readers of this news group to see if there
is enough demand to even dream about it.
I would also like to get some feed back to see what sort of robotic base
majority of readers prefer.
here is some of the info I'm looking for:
base geometry: circular or rectangular/ single or double decker.
base dimensions: 9", 10" or 12" or larger
drive train configuration: differential steering or combined drive and
steering or front wheel drive rear wheel steering.
drive wheel diameter: 2.75", 3" or 3.25" or larger
base material: plastic, aluminum or fiberglass (PCB material)
accessories: turret, extra deck
Please feel free to add any other suggestions you may have.
Send all reply's to lroska@cyberus.ca
Thanks

The reasons are manyfold, but I'll enumerate some of them here so that (...) (26 years ago, 12-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
