Enhancements
From tiberious.org
a couple things i think we should get
Computer
the motherboard is the same size as the current one we have!
- DFI G5M100-N Pentium M Mini-ITX Motherboard [1] - £149.00
- 2.0 GHz Pentium-M 755 CPU * Lead time approx 1-3 days [2] - £209.00
- 1U Pentium M Heatsink and Fan [3] - £19.00
- 1GB DDR400 DIMM - EPIA SP/M/MII/PD Compatible [4] - £79.00
this is going to be one BEEFY robot
if we need to spend money ;] - we could get an extra stick of ram, so an extra £79, tho 1gb should be dandy
- SHIPPING £8.00
- SUBTOTAL £464.00
- VAT £81.20
- TOTAL £545.20
can someone tell me what we paid for the current motherboard + ram etc, cos then we can remove that from the above cost (prob only £130), but still usefull
Processor (retail version) avail from ebuyer for 195 + shipping and vat, just for info purposes [5]
Replacing the caster
OK, as we all know the caster at the back caused us a couple of problems on the first test, so please put ideas for replacing it here.
Ball transfer is slightly the wrong thing... but hopefully there's something similar out there, will keep looking, and if I don't find, look at making one using a 200mm plastic ball and some ingenious engineering.
emmm..... It wouldnt be too hard to fabracate but it needs to be stuirdy!!! needs to have a bit of weight to it! i could give a diagram to any one how wants one, simular to a ball joint to a biped i onces started (not finished) - matt
