Just a quick note for those of you who have been trying to build the SC1 Servocores with the 0.01uF capacitors as listed in the parts list. That's an error! 0.1uF is just fine. Documentation has been revised accordingly. Sorry for the error!
Hi all. Yesterday's solar race cars were very cool. Lots of neat tech, and a neck'n'neck race to the finish too! I took the extra effort to see some of the cars out at highway speed, then saw them again in-town. These things
move! Anyways, enough about that.
I got an email from John Hopkins, who's working on a documentary about Mark Tilden and the Robosapien. From John:
I'm a producer/director from Canada and Mark Tilden's cousin. I've been researching and shooting a feature documentary about the lifelong adventures, ideas, and scientific work of Mark Tilden for CBC's Nature of Things in Canada.
Thanks for any assistance you and your site participants might be able to offer.
Cheers,
John

Browsing around, I found another link regarding Mark Tilden & WowWee. From the website "AllNerdReview.com" (if that doesn't describe a roboticist...) comes article about a their visit to the New York Toy Fair (ok, so my web-browsing is a bit old). Enjoy... http://www.allnerdreview.com/TOYFAIR05/TF13.htm
Just a quick addition for now - there was a link submitted from the BEAM mailing list regarding Rod Brooks' papers at MIT. Some very worthwhile reading for those long, summer afternoons in the shade... Read More...
