We should have a website up and operational just after the start of the
year. Right now we have the motherboard and other componets mounted on
a 16 inch round frame from Zagros robotics
(https://www.zagrosrobotics.com/Index.asp). We have SuSE 10.0 installed
on the 40 gig HD and the phidgets and camera operational. We are on
hold right now until I get the money to buy the Roboteq controller, this
project is funded in a large part by me. Eventually we will build a
cutom aluminium frame for the bot.

Phase 1 is just getting the parts mounted and OS installed. The first
generation of the robot will be very simple. The actual client will run
on the robot itself and you will simply remote desktop into it via VNC
and start the video and control app and drive it around, that makes it
stupidly simple. Eventually it will stream everything out to a remote
client and the OS on the bot will be an X-less Linux installation on a
small bootable compact flash card.

Opps......I'm sorry :(
