Re: The IBOT is Dead!
In the area of Austin where I live and drive through during the week, to and from work, it doesn't take long to see the crying need for better and improved motorized scooters and wheelchairs for the people who use them to get where they are going. The wheelchairs are the worst by far. People use them because it is what they have, what they can afford, what they know to be available. Every day, I think about the wonders of the iBOT and how even a portion of that quality, technological whizardry, and robustness could benefit these folks who depend on the chairs and scooters for some quality of life each day.

Its great for us as mentors to see students teaching other students and a robot being built from scratch without us. Maybe someday they won't need us at all!!! - DR3381 [more]
