To answer Tony's question, I don't know.
To answer Clint's question:
I currently subscribe to tcrobots@orbis.net only. I do this mainly to get
meeting info and to exchange info about availablity of parts locally. I
have little or no interest in BEAM or solar robots. HERO is too specific
since I don't have a HERO. I also don't have a HANDY BOARD. Now that you
mention it, I should subscribe to TRP Talk.
If these were all combined, I think that a large percentage of the
information would be useless to me. I would probably unsubscribe and stick
with comp.robotics.misc where I control what gets downloaded.
Just one persons opinion...
