DPRG mailing list archives: [DPRG] Outdoor robot fleet...

Yeah, that one does not appear to be the full production chassis and its
operation appears quite clunky (I'm guessing tire tracking on asphalt
parking lot.)  I am also guessing there is a human operator on the other end
of a remote control...?   Notice also that the audio does not fade after the
robot is a hundred feet away.   It tells me that likely it has been layered
in artificially in some manner...

And unfortunately I did not save it locally.  I'll contact my friend and see
if there is a way he can push it back out somewhere to share...

Here's a video of it in action - there was a link on their forum.

I had access to some "unreleased" video captured of them going through a
series of tests around a ware house floor, over pallets, and also outside on
a pile of small river rocks.  The link seems to have been taken down, I'll
search and see if I can find anohter...

Hey Kenneth,

Re: Parallax Gas Powered Outdoor Robot

Will be Interesting to see in action.
Wonder if electric motor driving hydraulic pump would be reasonable for
short haul.
The energy storage capacity of the accumulator is also another interesting
component of the beast.
Would be fun to play with for sure.

Right on - on the ready made platform.
How many people have the skills to build something like that? -- and even if
they do, how much time is left to pursue the next step.
