[Redback] So how have peoples' Tarantulas/Redbacks been going?

[redback at lists.cse.unsw.edu.au]

Hi all!


Wow it's been ... like ... silent on the list ...

Anyways how have people been? Alex, how are your Lurkers? Shahram, how 
are the Tarantulas in Rome going? Masayuki, any news from your Redback? 
Tim, how is your Tarantula reworking going? Mike how has the Pittsburgh 
Redback progressed? Who else has been robotising Tarantulas?

We've put another one together and fitted it out with sensors and done 
our first set of eyes-off stepfield traversals with it! Details to come 
but if anyone wants to have a sneak peek, head on over to 
http://raybot.cse.unsw.edu.au/new_redback/ ! It's got an OQO running 
Linux on the back (fits VERRRYYY nicely), laser rangefinder and 
omnidirectional camera, we're still figuring out what other sensors 
we'll be putting on it.


I look forward to hearing about what's been happening with all you 
people! :-)

- Raymond
