| Well, it's official: I am going a new direction in the development of the UGV. A friend from my work, Jared Hurn, has decided to assist me in the development and programming of the robot. We hope to eventually be able to enter it into the Robo-Magellan contest, if not the one next year, then the year after. Read on for more about this exciting new direction the project has taken! | ||

| I made a small, low-quality video of the pan-tilt mechanism of my UGV/ROV today. The servos are currently controlled via an R/C transmitter; in the future everything will be controlled with a Basic Stamp 2. | ||

| Those of you following along know that my current project is the design and construction of a homebrew UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle). I intend to control it using a BASIC Stamp 2 OEM microcontroller module I constructed (see my assembly primer (new window) for more details). So, once I had the module built, I then needed some way to program it... | ||

| I just wanted to post a short "status update" on where my ROV project stood. First off, I am sure you notice the name change... | ||

| I wrote this primer for those out there who may need some extra visual and written explanation to the assembly manual which is included with the Basic Stamp 2 OEM kit (new window) from Parallax. | ||

| Need a head for your android? Want to explore vision processing? Just want something new and strange to put on desk, to annoy passersby? Then this may be the project for you! | ||

| I recently had the pleasure to conduct a short and informal email interview with a pioneer in the field of hobbyist robotics, David L. Heiserman. | ||

| THE CONCEPT: In the early part of 2005, I began the design and construction of an ROV based on the chassis of a 1/6-scale radio-controlled toy monster truck. Utilizing this and other various items, I managed to implement a working - if not very elegant - ROV system. Though I never obtained any video of it in operation, I did manage to document its construction with a series of photographs. | ||
