Bruce Shapiro's Stargate laser thing is now going to be horizontal. |
This is the top made from hickory and a sheet of glass. |
Bill Arden brought his RackBot. |
Inspecting the Rackbot. |
The map it created this time. |
We were in room 11. It almost shows it in the room. |
I found these maps on the wall by the elevators. This is level 2. You can't get directly from the parking ramp into level 2. |
This is level 5 which is the main lobby. You have to take the elevator from the parking ramp to the lobby. Then take another elevator back down to level 2. |
Ben Johnson brought his BoeBot. |
David Messer Brought his BoeBot. |
A closeup of David's BoeBot. |
David Messer also has this converted tank chassis. It has a Basic Stamp, X-10 camera and an ultrasonic ranger. |
Another view. This machine is autonomous or controlled by an R/C transmitter. |
The TV receiver station for the X-10 camera. |
An image on the TV screen. |
Peter Ellison brought his Fire Fighting robot. |
Peter has a laser on the front to paint a horizontal stripe. This is what the wall will see. |
Tom Brusehaver brought a Roomba vaccum cleaner robot. |
Driving around on the floor. It makes a fairly quiet whirring sound. |
This is the business end, It has a brush in addition to the vacuum motor. |
It would drive around in patterns and occasionaly bump into things. |
Rand Whillock brought his sumo robot collection. |
Rand also brought his BEAM robots. Here he is using his artifical sun. |
The robots playing on the floor. |
The BoeBots got tangled up together. It's always fun until some robot puts an eye out. |
The tank is coming over to check out the sumo robots. |
This is the robot arm kit that Alan Kilian and Jeff Sampson made up for the Kid's College course at Peter Kilian's school. |
Some people milling around. |
This owl was on the table when I came in. I thought it belonged to one of our members. But it belongs to the Science Museum. |
