Re: pic: Newest addition to the 2008 KOP

I forsee a lot of problems if the cat isn't declawed. From volunteers: "Ouch! Ouch!" as they herd the cats. Plus the problem of keeping them clean. (Is there anything madder than a cat who's being bathed?)

This is why teams have freshmen.

(Alternatively: This is why I, as a mentor, prefer for kids to do the work when it's possible.)

Re: pic: Newest addition to the 2008 KOP

OK, I have some Questions:
1) Is it 12 volt?
2) can we use it as a power amplifier for the mouse drive?
3) will this tear up carpet if used as direct drive?
4) other than teeth and claws are there any attachment point?
5) will we get DQ'd if it malls the ref?
6) after checking out some units we had on a shelf, where's the off switch?

Have Fun
Geo.

Re: pic: Newest addition to the 2008 KOP

Alright! A camera that I can finally get to work more than 30% of the time! Built in rangefinding as well! Complete with audio sensors too, for that second level of robot situational awareness! Did I mention it can function where even human eyes don't cut it, without needing any sort of IR illumination? And on top of that, fellow teammates will handle it better and more carefully, and in the unlikely event that it is dropped, it has built in shock absorbers that function automatically!

Oh wait. I'm allergic to cats.

Oh, boy... we get a perpetual motion machine in the KoP! All we need to do is add buttered toast.
