Subject: [alt-beam] Re: lets try this one more time...
I think people severly underestimate the amount of energy it takes to build
a strong, and informative web site. Copying stuff from someone else isn't
too hard, but the effort such pages like ian's and Fangs is extrodinary. Do
you know how much effort making schematics is? Especially if it's five motor
walker like on fangs? You need to give more credit to these people. I've
been trying to do an original BEAM page for months, but it's Dang difficult.
Just doing a page on one type of bot takes SOO much time so that it's
actually comprehendable to other people, especially new people who are
looking for a flawless guide to building a robot.
