And I still have that BBC box for you. Perhaps we should meet some time!! Getting to you from here by public transport is tricky, so I would need Peter's help to get over there.

Likely fine for word processing, etc., but too much hassle for general use.

[Hampshire] [ot] Armdroid
FYI - please contact ian directly and Cc me please. I have offered to "hold" amything he wants until he gets back from Bristol :-) A bit of background, Ian has been a core contributor to the tvrrug.org.uk user group, helping quite a few of us newbies get going, so please check that dusty cupboard for him :-) Jacqui Original Message Subject:Armdroid Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2012 12:04:48 +0100 From: Ian Stratford Hi Jacqui/Alan If you could put the word out amongst the local LUGs that I'm after an Armdroid (or any other defunct/spare/pensioned off robotic arms or similar), which may be lurking in the backs of cupboards in schools, that would be great. I'd like one personally, but happy if we can get one donated to the hackspace. The Armdroid is a 6-axis robot arm from 1981, often used in schools to teach kids about robotics, usually coupled to a BBC Micro. I remember seeing one, but was never allowed to play with it! I can also remember poring over magazines of the time, trying to work out if I could ever afford something similar. As a 6-axis robot, it could work with Al's electronics, with 3x Dual Stepper Modules.
