|
I've started a new project to explore the Spybot's capabilities, (now the John Hansen has given me access to them ;). I plan to undertake s series of "studies" which each explore a single feature or function. I'll post then as I go. This first one (...) (21 years ago, 6-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
