Is My Robot Kit Worth the Frustration?

[wolram]

Well i bought this robot kit and every thing progressed ok until the last stage
of construction, vital parts are missing, well that's not to bad i made the missing
parts, the next stage is programming, ouch ,it is just so vague, the first stage
"centering the servos went ok", but then it went down hill, my £250 bot is a
useless peace of junk

 

[hypatia]

aww sorry to hear that. It may not be totaly wasted, just put it aside for a few days, maybe a fix will come to mind.

 

[honestrosewater]

That's strange - when I assemble something, I usually end up with extra parts. Did you ask the computer or engineering people for suggestions?

 

[wolram]

There is no one there three phone call to a recorded message
ignored e mails, i think the company has gone bust or some thing.

What the eks a tvo, i fancied an evo.

A Tvo let's you rewind, pause, and skip 30 second ahead on TV.

At some point you should stop trying to build a girlfriend, and maybe just try to meet one.

No wonder you're having trouble with the programming then.

Would you give some help, i think it only needs some tweeking.

 

[honestrosewater]

Yep, tweeking helps...

I am sure it does but i do not know which bit to tweek

 

[honestrosewater]

I am sure it does but i do not know which bit to tweek

bits, wolram, bits. Men.

 

[wolram]

bits, wolram, bits. Men.

Bits bytes, if i tweek the bit in the third row the legs fly up in the air, i am
sure it should be an and in that line but the book says not.

The circuitry is mostly ANDs and OR gates, but mind the NOTs!

You have given me an idea, i will try an exclusive or.
