Introduction:
I started in Robotics as a hobby when I went to High School (1976) while
I read one of the popular robotics book (probably the only one then) by
Tod Luffburrow. I think this book is still available today. I can't remember
the title of the book, I would have to look it up again. I consider this
really the beginning for me , as I always tinkered with Erectors sets,
and other mechanical gadgets when I was younger but this was when I combined
my electronics & computer hobby with my new hobby ,robotics, and started
making some cool stuff.
Most of my projects faded away since then, as I always scavenged the last
robot for parts to go into the new project, but now I make an effort to
retain the past robots. Now since the Internet has grown (man, I'm tired
of using Gopher) I've been watching everybody use it for their robotics
hobby and I didn't get around to it until this past year(1996). I moved
since then, and again, and again, so now I want to share my work because
this is what makes this hobby progress.
Projects:
1. Homebuilt Inclinometer
2. Robot Turtle -,fast moving, light seeking, independent
turret , mobile base
3. Robot Walker - Hexaped - paper tubes make great
legs!!
4. Robot Walker - Quadraped - paper tube power
5. Robot Walker - Biped - a legged walker using static
equilibrium to emulate bipedal locomotion
