Defined "Roles"

The following roles now exist and appear to be functional:

Node Admin - able to edit node content
Super Node Admin - able to edit node types and forums
Site Admin - able to do whatever they want

Where do I get it?

It's a free download from Microchip. That's the nice people who will also send you the free engineering samples.

On the frontpage there is - next to the picture of a robot these links:

Who are admins?

webmaster's picture

TheCowGod, Fritsl, and BOAadmin (AKA BaseOverApex) are.

In here they can talk about how to do stuff - and it is public, of course.

Information wants to be free :D

If you also want to be admin, well ask an admin.

Perhaps some admin are going to make special editors roles, enabeling you to get your own special sections if you want :)

Is this total anarchy? Well.. yes, sort of. LMR was started by the user "fritsl" (me), but I have no wish of anything but having robot-building friends all over the world. So why should I be the only admin?

I was wondering where online most of you go to shop for parts? Can we construct a master list of important websites here?

Parts Prices (In US Dollars)

Here is the analysis I have done so far. I didn't look everywhere, but I did learn 2 things.

  1. You can't buy everything from 1 place
  2. It is cheaper if you buy from outside of the US on some parts

Here goes my summary: (For all intents and purposes, when priced in £ double it for US dollars. It is a bit less than double, but after your credit card company charges a fee to convert the purchase it will be close to double given the current rate of exchange on 5/7/2008)
