… and it’s all downhill from here or so they say.

I have a lot on my mind and need to write that down sooner than later. I had the best birthday party and gift ever. Many thanks to my dear friends who traveled the distance. This is Gru, with my home-brew beer kit wrapped inside.

A robot’s birthday

Quite possibly my fastest fabrication to implementation for a full fledged autonomous robot. Rio, our holonomic robot, works; flawlessly too.

It was fabricated (mechanical and PCBs), wired, tested and ready to go in less than 12 days, quite a miracle given the failure rate in robotics, the lead time for procuring parts in Singapore and the paperwork involved.

Here’s Rio all wired up and good to go.

Don’t stare at the wheels too long, they make your head spin. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upio7feAY6w)
