07.27.08 - I'm really excited to be working with a new sponsor, Surveyor Corp., maker of the SRV-1 personal robot. They're donating 10 electronics platforms to us for use in learning projects. We're really looking forward to doing some cool things with this excellent platform. Click on their logo to be taken to their site to learn more!

FINALLY, I'm putting these up...

JPL Tour - A friend of mine and UCLA Alum, Allen Sirota, heads the Robotic Hardware Systems Group at NASA's JPL in Pasadena. He was kind enough to offer our club a behind the scenes tour of some of the projects going on at JPL right now. We arrived in the morning, and met some of his colleagues to discuss our ideas for our own Rover, and the 2 hours we spent with them were extremely helpful. After that, we got to go into a number of labs and see such projects as the Mars Science Laboratory drilling arm, the MER Rover proving ground, and ATHLETE, NASA's proposed platform for future exploration of the Moon. It was an awesome day.

These are some of the pics that I have shrunk down to fit the page. I'll have a high-res album sometime in the next month.
