[Robotgroup] So.. been Robotin' long? :)

[Paul Atkinson]

My first robot was a college project that used 5x 6800's and 2x TMS 9900's. I was a torso/arm robot with vision. Trying to find a picture somewhere. A friend and I wrote and presented a student paper to IEEE in '79.

PS - I think Vern's favorite robot is the Kym-1...

The Kim-1 made by MOS technologies (later acquired by Commodore Business
Machines) was the predecessor to the SYM-1... Read all about it on my
web site for the kim-1 here:
