hi ALZ,
none of your links from the title page work because you have spaces and forward slashes (instead of back slashes / \ ) in the URLs.

for example,
http://robotics.scienceontheweb.net/VEX chip\chip0.htm
will work with *most* browsers like this:
http://robotics.scienceontheweb.net/VEX chip/chip0.htm
but it would still be better to remove the spaces and rename the page like this:
http://robotics.scienceontheweb.net/VEX_chip/chip0.htm

out of interest, which browser are you using that actually works with the forward slashes?

It works for IE7 but not FF3. I'd assume ALZ is using the former. Just out of interest can someone test this on Safari or do they know is alternating slashes work?

Also ALZ don't forget to fix the slashes for images as well. The spaces are fine, they will just be encoded to %20, it will work fine its just bad practice!

Also add a link to the main page right after the The End of each section!
Check out the uBotino robot controller!

Hi:

Thanks for the "/" catch dunk. If your browser doesn't work with a space then there is a problem with the browser you are using. I'm using explorer 6

You might want to check out Eagle for those electronic schematics when you get the time. Another thing you might want to 'wikify' your tutorial more. When you make references, link out.

Example:

VEX is a company that sells robotic parts and kits. They sell a VEX transmitter and receiver on their site for $129.99 but you can get a VEX transmitter and receiver for about $20 on Ebay and many other places.
