Finding Sarah Conner

Finished off the mousebot last night. It is a failly easy solding job to put it all together. Had the daughter help, but she got bored.... We tried it out briefly - it was very fast and did not seem to follow the flashlight. Not sure if it was not working correctly or not as I managed to slam it into the wall hard enough to break off one of its 'eyes'. I need to fix that and try again.

Finished a simple robot with the VEX kit. I'm going to have to change it to get more torque and also add on a arm. Its not a robot without an arm! Not sure if I should use tank treads or wheels...

Also got my shiny new HD camcorder. I'm going to try and cut a mounting hole in my canopy on the EasyStar plane and try to take some HD video while flying.

Robots!

I ordered a mousebot from Make yesterday. Going to put it together with the Daughter. Nothing says nerd family more then soldering with the kids.

I also need to break out the Vex robot parts I have and make a robot with the video camera transmitter attached - good times chasing the cat around / finding Sarah Conner.
