Dedicated Robotics Forum!

Robotics sounds like an excellent idea. I've been interested in building something like that. However, I've just got a little bit of work left on my RepRap first...

I also want to create a robotics forum. Is anyone making robots with their RepRaps or is it to early to give it a dedicated forum? Still too early, or does that mean we should start a forum and incubate things like RepRobo-One, a one-foot (30mm) tall bipedial robot? Or RepRex, a quadrupedal robot.

What do people think, does that sound cool?

Let's start digging up the cool stuff we can do, and incubate the idea. A good starting point is here:

[www.robots-dreams.com]

Here's a fun page:
[www-cdr.stanford.edu]

That page reminds me of these talks by Robert Full:

I'll take a look. I really want to engage the robot hobbyist community especially RoboOne, which hasn't taken off over here in North America.

But I'm currently busy with admin duties and then bringing Eiffel/RBS into existence, and I don't have the time to design up a robot biped, quadraped, or even a simple line follower.

Building robots is the whole point of why i'm building a Rep(ST)Rap, and is a good idea to have a separate forum for it.
ThingiVerse has got some good plans already for various robots that can be printed

So I've heard. (The RepRap user-developer community and websites are a little forked right now. We're working on it.)

Anything new you want to design? I'm thinking about sparking off a RepRap Robo-One working party.

Remember, you're all RepRap developers (once you've joined the super-secret developer mailing list), and the wiki, RepRap.org, [reprap.org] is for everyone and everything!

I created the working party thread, and we'll see what comes of it

Folk are free to create new threads in this forum for dedicated robot types, robot competitions, etc. Working parties , cool links, and discussion.

I have worked for a summer robotics camp for the past few summers. And recently I have been searching the web for helpful forums and cool links for students that pertain to robotics.

I found a cool one today: robotbox.net. It is almost like a facebook for robot users.

Does anyone else have any cool links or resources?
