Lots of bits and bobs.

First and foremost, the robots are well under construction in the UK thanks to the hard work of Karl and Carl:

Next, Dan has been working hard on the visual recognition code. You can find it here:

We also have camera calibration patterns for people who want to help beta-test:

Meanwhile, Andrew has the concept design for the radiation sensor ready and will order components today, with the first test unit expected to be ready next week.

Karl has some bits and bobs on order for the weather station and - pending delivery - is also close to having the prototype in operation.

We are looking pretty healthy for our launch in June, confirmed for LinuxCon Japan 2012.

Regards

Shane
