Hello All; I am a member of a group who is coordinating a Robotics Contest for area High School students. Students will build minerature Robotics Rovers which will run on a section of terrain (designed by middle school students) which simulates the surface of Mars. I am currently seeking as many sources of Robotics Material as I can to provide these students with as much resources as possible as they build their Robotics Systems. Primarily, I'm looking for mail order corporations, institutions, or individuals who can provide the following ... 1) A source for Minerature TV camera's as well as Minerature video transmitters which operate at low power, utilize low voltage (So they'll operate on the rober's batteries), and are fairly cheap. Also ... they should not require any special licence or permission to operate. 2) A good source for Robotics Kits (Particularly Robotics Rovers or cars). 3) A good source for Robotics components such as stepper motors, switches, sensors, Motor's, and other electronics and/or mechanical equipment. 4) A good source for Robotics plans, books, etc. 5) A source for anything else relating to Robotics which you think will benefit this project. The many students who take part in this exciting project as well as myself and the other robotics contest coordinators at the Lewis Research Center and Ohio Aerospace Institute will be very, very appreciative of any assistance you can give us with the above information. Tim P.S. Please provide phone numbers and address of the above sources if you know them. Thanks again !!! W. Tim Dedula Internet: N.A.S.A.
