It relies on just a single motor and a wobbly gear-drive system to move about while keeping costs low, so don't expect to get Honda ASIMO smoothness here. The Co-Robot actually hobbles more than walk,...

I have been having a few problems with Blogger publishing to my FTP space, it doesn't seem to like uploading images very much. I'm guessing this could be because my server is in the UK and Google's aren't. Anyhow, having Blogger publish to my FTP is probably over complicating things a bit so I've commandeered www.havethat.co.uk (which I've had...
