PREFACE: I'd like to thank the forum administrator for giving me permission to post this.
I've recently launched
Roboreporter. Roboreporter is a web service where you can
submit, vote, and comment on robotics related stories. It is similar to the popular technology news site
Digg, but it's
only for robotics related stories and news. I got tired of wading through a ton of silly videos and stories about iPods and MPAA law suits, just to find some good robot related stories.
To promote the site I'm holding
monthly contests which are being sponsored by
The Discovery Channel. The top story submitter for the month wins a new
Chromashift Roboreptile. Now I know most of the people on this site would much rather build their own robot then win one. But think of it as a great gift, or better yet, something you hack into a Frankenstein monster that rules the world (or at least your living room).
Please stop by. If you like, post story links to the excellent tutorials on
Society Of Robots or any great forum posts you have made or found. Here's a link to Roboreporter:
