So would you be up for bringing your router controlled robot and python on
Tuesday for a non-competitive repeat presentation?

Some magic smoke came out of the h-bridge yesterday so the robot is not in working condition... a popping sound followed by a smoke signal: ahhhhhh - such sweet memories and fond moments! I think I won't be using L298's again - I need something with better protection (and it would be nice to use a FET based h-bridge to lower losses :) ... L298's are cheap, available, and relatively grunty, but too fragile ;)<BR>

Well Morris,
I could not make it to your Python on a router presentation as I like to
play 'Go' on Fridays.
So would you be up for bringing your router controlled robot and python on

As far as being beaten is concerned young Hayley showed the rest of us how
to build and program robots at our last meeting!
