anttch360 is currently certified at Journeyer level.
Name: Anthony Holsted
Homepage: holsted.dotnetpark.info/j5group Notes: I'm an Electronic Engineering Student that has just completed my A.S., and I'm moving onto my B.S. I have always had a long interest in robotics, but I never knew how to get involve with the hobby. It wasn't to I met a friend who was actively building robots that I finally got into it. At the moment, we are finishing up our robotic arm for our class project, which you can see at our website. I haven't joined the Robotics Society of Southern California yet but I will at their next meeting. Our next project would be building a custom mini sumo.

Well it's been 4 months since my last post; I figure I'll
give you guys an update. Both of us are pretty consume
with work at the moment. Fred is still working for NASA,
and I'm a PC repair tech at a retail store. I recently got
back with my first love, astronomy, and I‛TM]m in the process
of setting up a pretty mean astrophotography set up. A
while back I switch the website host just see how the
bandwidth was; if you want to test it out its at
holsted.dotnetpark.info/j5group.

Sorry for the inactivity, let see a lot has happen since
my last post. For one, I graduated valedictorian, Fred
came in a close second. Two, we won project of the quarter
with our Robot Arm hooked up to a PLC. Fred is in the
process of putting together tutorials on building a mini
sumo, since we couldn't really find any on the net.
Unfortunately, money been tight for the both of us so we
haven't done much but research on some building techniques
for our mini sumo.
Well that is all for now.

We took our robot arm and showed it off to the teachers and
the director of the electronics program. They all liked it
very much and there is a good chance we'll win the best
project of the quarter. But I wont know before graduation on
the 16th of September. Fred and I were both talking about
adding a basic stamp to it instead of using a PLC. So we can
take it down to the robotics meeting here in Southern
California.

Good news we finally got our Robot arm working 100%! We have
a new video posted on our site, and yes I know the
downstream from the website sucks but its the best we can do.
Saw more fireworks today and lost another relay, but this
time we have something to show for it. We decided to get rid
of the idea to use switches and are now using timers in the
PLC. We made our own IR detector and got that working. We
even manage to put everything together and got the arm to
close it's hand and then lift the object. Using the IR
detector and the PLC it is now in a completely automated
setup. But wait that is not all we even posted video of it
working on our website so go check it out!
