[Robotgroup] It had to happen...

[Paul Atkinson]

Hi Les,
Good to see you on the list. I had sent Vern a private email and asked where
the Robot Group list had moved. Seemed it had been replaced with an energy
efficient house building group...

I'm on vacation and looking for robots and related stuff in my spare time.
No luck so far.

On topic - seems the simplest version is static electricity, but I can't
recall ever seeing a robot that used that successfully. I think the
mechanism that a gecko lizard uses boils down to vanderwals  forces which
might be similar. FWIW.
