Recent changes to this site include:

13 Sept 2004  Ah, another year.  Mostly added picture of Rocky and links to his website.   I've also added a link above to an article on building a directional gyro which was originally published in the Seattle Robotics Society Encoder. 

12 Jun 2003   I haven't updated in a year or so, so everything is recent.   I added some more details on my firefighting robots of the last 2 years and rearranged the sites layout.  I've added quite a bit to the Construction hints section.
