Our Robot Arms are 'Famous'!

While talking to Feedback PLC it transpired that our arms were originally bought by Guinness! "I wondered where the Guinness arms were now!". Apparently, they were bought to 'star' in one of their adverts, but were never used!

Computer controlled slot racing - progress!

Problem one has been that as the car passes over the magnetic sensor, the pulse length is too short for the interface box to detect. An old modular bistable is triggered, the the box can read it at its leisure! Timing has also been a problem. In standard configuration, after passing over the magnetic sensor, the car takes over half a lap to react. Two changes: trace speed set to fastest, in advanced options read speed changed from 200 to 70. These changes allow the box to react more quickly, as the video shows.
