Subject: [alt-beam] Another re-worked web page!


Nice work on your site, Dave! I kind of miss the black/yellow theme.

I also re-worked my site ( must be time for the "fall catalog" )

http://members.home.net/cybug

I've got a hundred or so robot site links in my "building robots"
section which might be of interest to this list

http://www.solarbotics.com/images/hirez/walkers/MWT%20Shokbot%201.jpg

turning left/right.....or maybe explain to us how does it do that...maybe a
lil hint(from makr tilden) on the two motor walker architecture(i.e Are the
frame and motor orientation of the walker based on the same concept on
andrew miller's walker page ?) thanks a lot

6280 Fri, 01 Oct 1999 07:19:29 GMT [alt-beam] A new type of symet(in solarbotics) beam@sgiblab.sgi.com "Jason -" Hie all...

this message or discussion is specially for bob shanon...as u all
can see in the photovore section..mark tilden made a new type of symet which
can track light too using the unicore..toobad dave didnt make a higher
resolution on that picture.....i think this topic really benifits everyone
including the amateurs because a symet is quite easy to be build....so if we
mess around like what mark did....i think we could get the same
results...okay first of all how many motors this symet has? and what bout
the controller which it uses for the sensory input...and where shall we put
the photodiodes...this is a point we all should think about..i hope this
would be an interesting discussion..thanks

I really appreciate your web pages, especially the
<http://www.solarbotics.com/downloads.html> page.


Some minor suggestions:

Perhaps a data sheet for the 2n2222 could be included in your Tech Info page?


It would be nice if the size in KB of the download files were mentioned.


Probably a typo on <http://www.solarbotics.com/downloads.html>:
74AC240.pdf - National Semiconductor's 240 Octal Buffer Driver
74AC245.pdf - National Semiconductor's 240 Octal Buffer Driver


Thank you for having <http://www.solarbotics.com/pdf/living_machines.pdf>
as it is unavailable from the URL specified by a FAQ.
(Tip 'o the hat to Ian for the tip on where to start looking.)
