Hello Little John. Oh yes, life is rough. Some days I play with 3DS, some days I build simulators, sometimes image processing,… I've got so many projects at the moment I can usually decide at the beginning of the day what I feel like doing that day. What a hard life. >>robots: hobby… I'm not up on the current crop. At work, we are probably going to buy an educational desk-top model complete with computer and software for about $8000. There seem to be a lot of different small robots to choose from, but I don't know were to start looking. Thousands of people have build various robots from string, sealing wax, and R/C servos. I've even seen books in the local library. As to how hard it is to build interface hardware and software, that depends mostly on how clever you are! J K J PS: Warning, Will Robinson, Danger. Do not, under any circumstance, skimp on the 3DS tutorials! Also, don't forget to read the reference manual – there are many what I call "mini tutorials" scattered within – I think some of the best stuff is buried there.
