[Robotgroup] Tomorow's Meeting! :)

[David Nunez]

Andre - could you use the conversion electronics you've designed to  
build a paddle-clone?  I mean, what's in a paddle?  A potentiometer  
and a button?  Does it have mouse-like rollers or optoelectronics?

What about converting a VR glove?  Bending your finger back and forth  
to make the little bar slide for Breakout!

I do have very fond tactile memories of the way a paddle feels in  
your hand... the size... the slightly gritty turning action...sigh.
