Harold Ilano built this SW2.2 / VBug inspired 5 motor walker named "Tank", and just recently announced it on the BEAM mailing list. It's a very effective and quick device - nicely done, and well worth a look-see. It still impresses me what we can do without a microcontroller...
Solarbotics workshop at the Robothon

August 26, 2004
Solarbotics will be back at the Seattle Robothon September 24 and 25, hosting a workshop building our Sumovore mini-sumo robot kit, and a beta kit - the Herbie Photovore!
We had a lot of fun doing it last year, and many builders went on to compete the next day in the competition. And for the robot-builder amateur, we're introducing a beta kit of our upcoming "Herbie" photovore kit, which is a simple, speedy, battery-powered light-seeking robot guaranteed to please!
We're planning on only 20 seats, so pre-register sooner than later, and we'll contact you with full details! Even if you don't want to attend the workshop, come out to the Robothon - it's free, and a great event.

Cool project
Neil Sandstrom from the BEAM mailing list recently posted a notice about his "ShokHead" circuit built from our tutorial. What makes this project a bit different is that he mounted it on a VPM motor, so it's all self-contained. Here's what he says about it: Just finished!!! Check it out it is really small!! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beam/files/Psyclesam/ […]
