Bilby Mark II (Part 2)
Well, our new line following robot is done. With any engineering project, you can always do more, but after tidying up the program, and tweaking values for a few hours, we came up with a reasonable configuration, able to complete out test circuit in an average of 40 seconds.
The robot is much quicker making left turns [...]
Bilby Mark II (Part 1)
Fun and games last night. Bradley Robinson (who absolutely refuses to have his photo taken) bought a Lego Mindstorms NXT kit. Brad has had it a few days before I had a chance to see it. When I first saw it it was configured as a walking bi-ped, though it more a shuffle than a [...]

CSS
Alan and I today looked into CSS. Al wanted to “customise” his blog. Decided to have a look too, as i previously knew nothing about CSS. Tweaked my page, from this to this, by changeing only the CSS (and adding a few jpgs). Clayton reccomended oswd (this in particular) as a source of quality css [...]
Bass hurts
Highlight of the day: borrowed a bass guitar (one pick-up version) off Dave. Spent a few hours playing today, my fingers feel like they’re going to get blisters. Standard electrics have small strings that tend to cut into your fingers, but the bass has such thick strings, doing bends and slides really burns your fingers, [...]
