2 Sep 2004 robotdojo   » (Master)

All my robots have left the dojo and found new homes, a few parts are still around which I will peddle at my Robotdojo Website.

Two of my largest robots, Flexy-Flyer and Pro-AM (Kumite) have been donated to the University of Colorado, Boulder, for the use of their Computer Science and Engineering Students. Flexy became a robotics platform for an autonomous senior project called "Smart Rover". Check out the 2003 Capston Expo at CU for more information. Pro-Am is being outfitted for similar functions. My robotic platforms save the students time, so they can concentrate on electronic, software and artificial intelligence issues rather than deal with the mechanical aspects of robotics.

Both bots are expecting honorary degrees. ;o)

A side note, I've been collecting slide rules for a while and you can view my collection and on-line museum at Mike's Calculators for Hairy- Eared Engineers on my www.konshak.com web site. It is now one of the world's largest on-line collections.
