Subject: [alt-beam] New Pictures of BCBug v1.1



Hey guy's I have some more pictures up at the Yahoo Clubs web site for all
to see. It's of BCBug v1.1 (I don't really name my bots) It's a Master/Slave
Bicore arrangement with '245 motor drivers and BGmicro motors. Someone sent
me an e-mail asking me if the hextiles shown are the Mark Tilden Hextiles
from Chiu's contest, the answer is no, (I only got sixth place!) But anyway,
these were custom made, pricey to be sure, but abstaining from movies and
going out for a few weeks was well worth it. Check it out! I added some
nifty led's on the side of the bot to make him look neat. I tell you, can't
beat the BGmicro. Questions?
