i may have the originals somewhere, though i can't promise they are
any better than those ...

fred martin, who we were collaborating with at mit to do a run of miniboards,
could not be convined to come to that robofest. however, his buddy, p.k. oberoi
came. we had a lot of fun in that robofest. i believe it was the largest
amateur robotics expo in north america at the time.

i will see if i can find the originals for these.
