Subject: [alt-beam] Contest, and Muscle wire book
Chiu, when is your contest going to be judged??
Does anyone have that muscle wire book from the Robot Store who is finished with it and willing to sell it to me? I also want enough wire to make Boris, but first things first. I would order it, but I live in Canada, and ordering it from the states is expencive.
Please e-mail me at jester96@iname.com, not at this address (if you do I'll still get it, but not as soon)
Thanks.
Chris
PS - for those of you interested, I have finally uploaded my robot pictures since I switched servers
- www.kwic.com/~danfam/robotics - More to come soon.

they ship to Canada, or is it a North American (most of it, anyhow) problem?
Signing off,

P.S. Go to the east coast of Canada! You won't regret seeing Cape Breton!
I spent three weeks there (among places)! Wow!

5914 Mon, 30 Aug 1999 00:53:08 -0500 [alt-beam] Floor Monkey BEAM Richard Piotter I have finaly posted pictures of the finished Floor Monkey. It works
nicely and the website explains all, including it's interesting quirks!I
would have posted earlier, but my password was changed during a server
modification. I also have pictures of my Solarbotics Photopopper, but
it's nothing special. I actualy upgraded the solar panel to a 37x34 (I
think that's it). The picture shows the original solar panel however. I
built a Bicore to run Megavore, but I may build something else with my
74HCT240! (;
