[Robotgroup] HERO rides again...?

[Don Colbath]

Looks more like Heathkit has reinvented itself as an ITT
style on line community college.  No offense to those who went to ITT.

Be sure to tune into the ITT vs ACC football game.

Looks like Heathkit is back in the Robot business:

http://www.heathkit.com/herobot.html

I looked at the page, and I really surprised to find that I wasn't very
impressed. :(

Summary: Its a Mini ITX PC, running Windows XP and Microsoft robotics
studio. It has a bunch of off the shelf stuff bolted onto it like the
Linksys USB 802.11 wireless and Logitech USB camera.

Frankly, IMHO its more of a case-mod with wheels than any kind of
innovative robot. Kinda sad considering it's ancestry...

My $0.02 anyway...
