New Robot

time dedicated: practical:0's, research:1's

location: Luton

year: 2007-

New robot (as yet un-named)

There are two main drivers behind this robot:
1 - I generally have 30minutes available every lunch to do my own thing which would be put to better use designing and building a robot than surfing robot websites everyday like I do at the moment!
2 - I've been thinking about robots for 13years(!) yet have got nowhere near getting a robot in an arena, let alone finished :-(  

Time to try something new then.

Plan
Since this robot will only receive 2.5hrs attention a week, it might take a long time but the intention is to keep it simple and actually build it. Here's a basic time plan to try to keep me realistic and not get obsessed with details.
