Trick 1: You were looking at a website run by the specific laboratory. NIST itself has a photo gallery. A search on "hexapod" at http://patapsco.nist.gov/ImageGallery/search.cfm turned up two images, one of the real hexapod and one of a VR version of same. Not so many as I expected. Trick 2: the Internet Archive. I think you'll find everything you want at, for example, http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20100527204402/http://www.mel.nist.gov/photos/hexa.html Trick 3: send an email either to the NIST Public Inquiries unit or to the Manufacturing/Robotics folks (Fred Proctor, for example) and I'm sure they can provide or put up more images. You can mention my name if you want; I can't promise it will help. Sending them an image of your own work will undoubtedly go a long way :-) > As an aside, when I first looked at your video, I thought you had built >> your machine in your living room!
