This is a great project! Very well done. I played around with some suckers for some R&D we did a loooong time ago. One thing I never figured out was how to let go of objects. I couldn't find any good...

Are these allowed in Mechwarfare. I’m gonna show up with one.

We will look into the calander tool to see what is up, but it isn't asking for your birthdate, it is asking for the robot birth date.

Oops! Someone needs to be shot. Sorry about that. Yes, that is the new current contest and it is supposed to say ends Jan 2013! We will fix it right away.

Robot projects are never "done" only abandoned :P If a project is still being worked on that is okay, but I would suggest waiting until it is at least mostly finished before submitting to a contest....

Hey everyone,

We rolled out some new stuff recently. We wanted to improve the ability for people to share content so we have added some profile and public gallery features to the TRC. If you check...

You don't really want to know how "gently loved" this robot was. Purell is your friend.

Giger: FIXED

Thanks Darkback and fergs.
@darkback, I'm guessing Alex will make this into an official linked FAQ from somewhere obvious. Just collecting input in the thread for now. We will be re-skinning the...

I made the Pet Laser Dazer demo app to give people another fun project with the RoboTurret kits. Alex brought it home and had fun with his 3 new kittens. We tried bringing in Andrew's cat to work,...

Okay, now everyone EXCEPT Tyberius can win prizes.

Hey Everyone,

Code Project decided to do a second contest for their hardware zone. This one is a "Beginners Articles" contest to help seed the zone with accessible introductory hardware articles....

Not the same people. I think it was a Korean research outfit, they had a slew of various robots in there booth of different types. If I recall right they had the little balancing bot and a UAV. I can...

Hey All, this is overdue, but lets get a FAQ & rules started. It will make it easier to respond to some often repeated questions and annoying behaviors. I wanted to ask the community to ring in on it...

Um, what the hell is slithering through the background? LOL

Well, there goes our stealth advantage. Didn't know about this thread. Now we are going to show up with 25 copies there. Good job Andrew. I'm going to put a parent control blocker on your internet...

I thought people here would appreciate this.

Rep point given! Flattery will get you everywhere around here, lol.

We are working very hard to roll out the new platforms as fast as we can. Thanks for the support. It always helps. We can't wait...

You can enter as many as you like. It would be an individuals call whether to use them up in one contest or to save some for the following contests.

If you can simulate it well enough and get a good write up on it with video and pics then I think it sounds good. PM me where to send a kit too.

Hey DB,

Sounds like a pretty ambitious project. Are you saying you want to do it? It would be cool as a proof of concept, but do you really want to maintain it as a live system after that? Someone...

>>>This particular product is currently better suited for Windows

yeah, yeah, yeah, that part was inferred. Due to the current code examples available on a brand new product. (You disclaimer nazi!...

Hey,

Yes, life will be much easier on the windows side.

Then get started with the C# sample app...

Man that is gorgeous. I thought he was selling the gun for a minute, but it turned out he is just selling the CAD files. I wonder if he will ever sell any?
...

This is awesome. Was there a tutorial somewhere on how to build it?

Hey Joe,

I'm assuming you are referring to the RFID Experimenters Kit?

There is a DB app that logs the tags to an access database included. If you wanted to write to a text file you could...

Oh, Manny, you'll have to learn how to focus the camera though! :P

Manny has a kit with his name on it now :)

Um, no deadline I guess. We will just post that it's closed when it's closed. It is a casual thing.

Conner: You are banned! lol Think of another...

It's cool when you work at a company, you can spam your own forums!

Hey Everyone,

Okay, lets have a fun not so official contest. As you may or may not know we have a new RFID Experimenters Kit out. It is with a new jazzy RedBee reader that can operate as a slave...

Choosing the Bioloid system will also get you the greatest longevity since those servos are the defacto robotics standard now :)

While I'm not trying to steer you away from hanging out here and learning. I can see where beginners feel overwhelmed by the high end talk. Another great place for new people to do some learning is...

Soooo.... does this new layout for the Robotis Dynamixel help people research the products? :happy:

Still to come - more product images and project links on the product pages.

Stickers and shirts are for sale now :)

I'll let someone smarter than me ring in on these sensors. If color is a way to do it these might be something to think about.

Nice project and thanks for posting a link here at TRC.

Just an FYI - if you would like to be eligible for the next projects contest you would have to post the project here in the forums. A link...
