[Robotgroup] [ExI] ARTS: Space Camp

[brooksdesign]

  I don't know if my dial up was just taking forever or the links just didn't open all the way but all I got was the gallery page and all the links from it when to the same page. Anyway I have always been interested in space camps and this one sounded cool with more focus on the art. The first 4 or 5 Robofests had a space shuttle simulator that I helped build with Linda Brown at Kealing Jr.High. The TaiChi arms were used to launch and retrieve helium filled satalites and all of the operations were done via telepresence cameras. I think there is a page in the old "history" site. Now that I know where to find it again I should remember to add some links to that as well. 
  If Linda is still monitoring this list maybe she still has some of the plans she put together for the Kealing Space Camp that AT&T was going to fund most of it but AISD didn't seem to think it was financially feasable so they wouldn't even grant the empty lot which last time I saw was still empty. Now that space camps are huge cash cows for so many around the country I bet they would hate to be reminded of their short sited decision not to give it the go ahead.
