I haven't heard much about the Robot Building book (written by two
students at MIT's Mobot lab) lately. Wasn't it supposed to be done
early in the fall?
Is it possible to place orders at MIT press yet? I forget the name
of it, so I can't call them to reserve a copy.
I'm dying for a copy! :) In the meantime, I've got the "Squirt" paper,
the "Robust" paper, and the "Asynchronous" (and a few more) papers
published by Brooks and the Mobot lab. Does anyone know of any
really practical papers that a CS major could use to build a Mobot?
Also, I remember reading in the MIT student newspaper last year that
there was a tour of the MOBOT lab. I was unable to attend. :(
Anyone know if they are planning a tour this year?
