That is amazing! I love seeing these sort of devices!<BR>
<BR>
However I find them demotivating to get involved with because: either I want to be competitive (but I don't have the hours to devote), or I want to do something for fun (in which case I prefer something non-competitive).<BR>
<BR>
I have been trying to think of some simple events that are more fun and don't smell of competitiveness (unlike micromouse, line following, can moving) but I haven't come up with better ideas than those!... Anybody else?<BR>

Our next meeting is on Tuesday 15th Dec at 6.30pm in the Science Alive
Seminar Room
I'll be bringing a robot to lift drink cans and drop them off the table.
RoboBoogie may come along to demonstrate their National Robobucup winning
dance.
I'm sure there will be lots more to see, bring along what you are working
on.
As its Christmas feel free to bring along a plate to share.
Richard
