Greetings,

I was just wondering if Parallax has a gallery with pictures and info about their old/discontinued robots?
I am interested only out of curiosity, since I found these on the web:

www.generation5.org/content/2001/growbot.asp

www.robotshop.se/micro/bug.html

Thanks!

    I love Grow-Bots. I wish they were still being made. Two AppMod Headers, a Piezo :

    I added a Voltage Regulator and some other stuff to mine.

    I have a StampBug2, which was sold until very recently by Milford Instruments in England - http://www.milinst.com/

    This is a reasonably large (11 x 7 inch) classic tripod gait hexapod robot with sensory whiskers. The controller may not look like a BS2 but it is a clone called the School Stamp also made by Milford Instruments. Power is from three servos - two for the side two legs (front to back movement)·and one for the central legs·(tips side to side to give the tripod stance).·I was surprised to find that it is now obsolete as it is a brilliant robot and came as a kit·with good software support - a great pity that it is no longer sold.

    I attach a photo of my StampBug. There may still be some available from secondary suppliers. Milford still feature the School Stamp 2 and its development board on its website.

    I love those tracks!

    I love that front bumber assembly!

    is that something you did or was it a kit once offered by Parallax?
