I'm going to Robobusiness next week. I'll get some pictures if I see anything cool. Anyone else going?

My site has a link to my final presentation for Spidar. This doesn't mean that I'm finished with the robot, it just means that I've accomplished what I set out to do for the class. Anyway, check it out. I'll have some walking videos up soon.

I have a new look for my site and a new look for my robot...more details there. There's also a new video. I've got some crude walking motions but not good enough, in my opinion, to post. Check it out.

I'm working on a piece of hardware that will interface with my software which will make servo sequencing much faster. Hopefully the time that I have spent making this controller will decrease the amount of time that I spend sequencing servo motions. I'll put some pics up soon.
