Another online Robotics Development Enviorment for your collection!

A really cool (another one) open source robot "framework". Supports several different steering algorithms. Looks kind of cute too. It is said that the parts can be bought for $250.

Another educational robot encountered at this conference. Amazingly inexpensive. Apparently is Arduino based and not too hard to program. I will believe it when I see it!

Another robot used in education. Quite popular for teaching non-robotics kids,. It combines the latest robotic technology with the science of learning to create an exciting and dynamic educational tool that can help your students understand complex ideas across a wide range of age groups and subjects.

A large collection of hibbyist and educational robotics products. Sort of an Adafruit product line.

A robot used in research. This one is a whole body with arms and legs. One comment I heard is that device is a little noisy with motors and audio quality is not great. Also, check out the price!

Very comprehensive collection of notes useful robotics. But caveat - I haven't quality controlled it. It looks good though.

More than you ever wanted to know about how the PiCamera works. As usual, things are more complex than you expect when you get into them!

Really Important package to allow you to calibrate the camera. It is here because I lost it for a while (forgot the name) and now I found it again!

Ok this is also for me to remember important links! Here is the source code for the opencv ROS support for the camera. I now prefer it over Raspicam.

I know it seems that all I am doing these days is noting servo easing equations!

A visual and simple explanation of the calculations for easing. I am not sure but I think some of this is over complicated. I mean I don't know that we need so many variations. In any event, it is much easier to follow because they pull out the bit that is needed.

Very useful

Always good to have tutorials!

This product is excellent and appropriate for many many educational scenarios. Also check out the video about it.
