    Topo, Gemini, and a Hero -- my pals.

    Hope the little eBay fella can find a good home after its fall.

    TOPO & Androbot inspired my tilt-wheel robot shown in the video below. I learned in the process that tilting the wheels adds lots of static stability. The side projection of the wheel is an oval with a large radius of curvature at the bottom, like having a much larger wheel. So even without front & rear casters, gerbilling (one or two L's?) is minimal.

    Funny, that's just what the next to the last guy said about Hitchbot in Philadelphia.

    ("No more strays" wasn't my idea....just a "suggestion" from the wife.)

    I'm sure you'll do the right thing, Rick. BTW, my birthday is right around the corner, as is National Robotics Week!
