(I didn't see your post, obviously.) I'm one of the mentors for Team 768, m'self./quote]
Theodore,
What kind of time commitment is needed to get involved with FIRST as a mentor? Not committing, just curious.
Thanks,
Burk

Years ago, Byte magazine had at least one article on doing just that. The arm was made using copper or brass tubing and could only lift about an ounce or so, which worked out well for playing chess.
I'm pretty much a software guy and I'm currently learning JavaFX so maybe I could write you a virtual robot arm to hook to your chess program.![]()

I'm under the impression it's a Java wrapper. Just as the C was a wrapper. There was some stuff about the Java emulator online. I believe there will be a more working example in September.
We should definitely start a FIRST thread in MD next season!
