Subject: [alt-beam] Walker questions...


Thanks for all the replies to my geared motor questions, they were all
very helpful. However, now I have some more technical questions.
For example how does one make a walker phototropic? Must I design one
with a seperate light seeking head component, or are there other ways? And I
don't suppose anyone has any ideas on how to make a two motor walker turn a
specific direction based on sensory input? Is that something that only Mark
T. knows?
On a different note, Is Ian going to finish the update to Beam-Online
soon? It is a great site with potentially the most info around! (keep it up
Ian!)
Thanks folks, catch U later,
stick



9606 Fri, 28 Jan 2000 14:12:22 -0800 (PST) [alt-beam] robot idea. beam@sgiblab.sgi.com "Leonardo Boulton F." I'm thinking on building a walker... Anyone would tell me where can i
get the diagrams and stuff from?.... I don't want to buy any kits, i
want to build it by myself, from sctrach (well, with the schematics and
instruction) because it would be my first robot.... Thanks.

Leo
