Well, bad news. My computer seems to be going on a neverending battle with something or other and every part seems to die one at a time. This keeps me quite low on money. Not to mention the fact that I want some money for my g/f, my robots, my sound system, mixing equipment, driver training, an various other things. So This will probably be my last update. At least for a very long time. I'm looking for somebody to take over the pages while I look for a job and get things back into perspective. If your interested, please email me.

Sorry if some of the pictures or pages don't work. While uploading I realized that some files don't completely finish and the server seems to be having problems.

- I'm back from up north! And I've updated a lot of stuff. Heres the list:
About | Parts list + product numbers

Tutorials | Understanding the breadboard
Members | Brads Bots
Products page

About | Components | IC's
- Some pages have been moved around for the purposed of making beam-robotics more user friendly.
- I have posted some misc pictures around the website to make it more attractive.
- I took the time to optimize all the black and white graphics on misc pages to that instead of being 15k they are now 1k. (That'll help out for dial up users) I even got one page down from 119k to 6.23k!
- Now the news page will have local news and widespread news to make things less complicated.

- Forget this for now. Tomorrow

- I'm gone up north for 10.5 days. (Or something like that) I'll be back around two sundays from now. While I'm gone I'll have my computer but I won't have the net so there will be no updates from me. By the way, is anybody aware that I'm going to be missing the Chemical Brothers concert? heh, oh well.

- NOTE TO SPARKDUDE: Please send those parts in 3 or more days from now. It's probably better that they don't arrive while I'm gone.

7/13/99 - Lots of complaits today
- Well tomorrow I'm gone up north for 10.5 days. I'm coming back on the 25th. (This is really going to suck) And might I remind everybody once again that I'm going to be missing the Chemical Brothers concert because of this. Sorry for rambling on and on and on. I'll stop now.
- Nobody applied for the position of being an updater so I guess these pages will have no updates for 10.5 days. Oh well.
- Pictures have been developed of some of my robots. Only problem is that only one set of pictures turned out and the rest were too blurry to make out. I'll be posting those pics once I come back from up north. (Chemical brothers! Chemical Brothers!)

- Well stupid old me. I ordered some motors from MECI and the specs looked great. Only problem is that when the things arrived they were massive! They should be able to work for a head that I want to build but it'll just turn out really big.
- In other news, I'm looking for somebody to update my pages while I'm gone otherwise I'll just let them go for 10 days. Please contact me if your interested.
