Post by: robotvisionary on July 08, 2007, 03:01:01 AM

Admin is there some possible way for members like us to make a poll it would be really nice. :)



admin edit: I changed the subject line to something much more relevant

Nope. I have no plans to allow polls for members at the moment. I just see beginners spamming the forum with it . . .

They dont seem to be very popular here, anyway. :P

If anyone wants to suggest a poll, do it here I guess.

(dont forget to use relevant subject lines when posting)

lol

I just think the forum will stay healthier without them.

(Note that previous polls have had very low voter turnouts)

I think the admin is right.

I've got a poll-
favorite websites to buy robotic Items....
you could name all of the websites you recommend and if they have another, add it to it- we may be able to find some good websites that way!

I haven't found one website for everything yet...

I like Jameco and digikey for electronic components

I like servocity for servos

I like sparkfun for cool "gadgets"

I like solarbotics for motors and wheels

I like Pololu for their dual serial motor controller

I like McMaster-Carr for mechanical components (casters, gears, O-rings for tires, etc.)

I like Phenostream for their small scale robot chasis parts (plates, wheels, bushings, axles, etc.)

that's what I meant- one poll for every Item. (wheels/motors/microcontrollers/misc/etc.)
