robot tank from the 80's

Hey all,

 Just thought I'd throw this out there as this was something we had back in the day(80s). A fine specimen to see how it was done back then and how simple it was as well. This was something that was sold on the market for big bux....it's pretty amazing that we've come to the point where we can make these things(or something simlar) ourselves. 

It had a simple instruction control and no object detection. 

 It would be an interesting base if you can get your hands on one...

Where are you ?

I want to thank all of you, and Frits especially, for this forum.  I have learned so much here in a short time.

I would like to suggest that everyone include where you are located in your posts, maybe using the Auto Signature.  I think that would add a lot to the experience.

Thank you,

check this Self-balancing robot on instructables. It doesn't stand upright for very long, but it's a very good starting point, IMHO.

Entry of LMR in my blog

JayZee's picture

My blog called least significant bit is on http://lsbit.wordpress.com/

I write here because I would like to post an entry talking about LMR, but I'd like to know if you would like it and what would you like me to say as more important things.

The thing I like the most on this site is the good humour of everyone and that you always find someone wanting to help.

Any ideas? :)

I also accept opinions about the blog :P

TCP/IP Idiot's Guide Required

OKay, who understands IP? I want a simple explaination as to why I can log into LMR with two different usernames from two different PCs in my house, when they're both attached to the same router. The router assigns them both unique non-routable IP addresses on the LAN side of my network.

If I log into two sessions on LMR using two usernames, the more recent of teh two connections takes over the older one and that session becomes the same as the new one.

Once the traffic passes through my router, it's almost as if my two PCs have two different IPs.

WowWee Robotics

You know, I really like their line of little bots. I was at Walgreens and they had the Mini Robosapien for $10, so I grabbed him up and he's now hanging out on my desk.

I like their model of using pretty standard sensors and things in fun and interesting ways. They've got some pretty innovative ideas going on.

Robot Flash Game

CaptainTuna's picture

hi guys i was thinking of making a flash game which involves the use of robots.

I really don't have many ideas for it, i just wanted to know what you think about it, whether it is junk or could be a good idea. Maybe it could also be a way to publicize this site... 

 Let me know what you think of it, and in case you think it's a nice idea why not giving a hint or two about how it shoud be made?
