Unfortunately my immediate project is off topic, I have to change the alignment of my robotic telescope from alt-az to polar mode. Considering the whole robotic observatory is one cubic meter, and at any given position, there might only be 1 inch of clearance, it's a tight job.
I am really interested in the er1 robot kit mentioned in another post, it would work well to interface hal on a robot for school presentations, of course, as luck would have it, they dropped the price of the robot by 50% on the same week my employer closed our facility and moved it to the west coast. On the bright side, that should leave me with plenty of free time to give the new 5.0 editor a good workout!
