>A few new updates:

>1) My new boss is into 'simulating' behavioral robots and lent me the
>book 'Vehicles' by Valentino Braitenberg. If you haven't read this book
>yet and you are into beam please do so. Very amazing stuff and it has
>given me tons of ideas on things to built.
>
>2) Just bought a robot arm kit at a local Fry's that was on a killer
50%off.
>I'm almost done building it. It was worth the $35 for the gearboxes alone!
>(before anyone asks, not suitable for walkers as they gearboxes are
>WAY to high torque and slow moving.
>
>Anyway, I think I MAY just have enough time to start building again.
>Either way, I haven't stopped dreaming up ideas in my head...my only
>problem is TIME.
>
>Did I catch that there is going to be another contest?
>
>Well....I'm back.
