Hopefully there will be a tutorial for Wilf's uCrawler in the future! (Hint, Hint.... it's comming!) Other stuff: Links, tutorials and schematics, events, and e-mail lists pages are all enabled now! |

| Once again, the Western Canadian Robot Games are over and done with for another year. And what a great event it was! Lots of new robots, sponsors, etc.... It was estimated that the total value for all cash and prizes was in excess of $10,000! I also took plenty of photos from the WCRG, they are available here. I also suceeded in placing in every event I entered, taking first in Fire Fighting and Photovore, second in Walking Robot Triathalon, and thrid in the Solar Speeder accuracy event. |

| Well, the WCRG 2001 begins tommorow at 8 O'clock sharp! I'm getting packed and ready to go right now! The pages for Flamebot and my other robots have been uploaded now and are available for viewing, minus schematics since I haven't had time for those. Also, I will be posting fresh pictures from this year's WCRG as soon as I can get to a scanner, most likely the Sunday after the games. |

| New Content! The Files and Datasheets section is now on-line! There are roughly 15 datasheets and papers online, ranging from 1381voltage detectors to the Living Machines paper. I've also updated the mainpage (here) so that you can't click on a page that isn't working yet. |
