Subject: [alt-beam] New robot pictures!


I actualy updated my web page!!! I have better images of nearly all my
robots, and I also added pics of 2 unfinished robots!!!

I definitely need to buy parts to finish all those robots! Gotta stock
up on those 240's, or build a few 74HC14 based bicores. Whatever works!

And for the people begging! New Spyder pictures!!! It STOOD!!!

I think I need to redo the H-Bridges though. That, or install one of
those instand start PNCs, but I'm not sure how well that'd work on
Spyder's branched Nv net.

Maybe I'll buy a couple of those H-Bridge chips that were recomemded to
me at the robotics meeting I went to recently.
