[Yaaarc] YAAARC Meeting tonight

[James Ronald]

Well, I found what I think is a good deal for a Mini Sumo chassis.  I found 
the Mark III Mini Sumo chassis kit for $10.00.  You need to add your own 
modified servos, wheels, uC and sensors but it's a nice small chassis about 
the size of the flutter bot with places for the Fairchild and Sharp sensors 
that we/I have been using.  Anyone, interested in Mini Sumo for an upcoming 
event?  The chassis also lends itself well to Line following, Fire fighting 
and Maze solving.

Also, I have bread boarded an Atmel ATMega16, built a programmer and have it 
flashing LEDs and the like.  I was amazed at how simple was to get one of 
these things working.  I'm not an EE so this stuff is still magic to me.  I 
would like find out more regarding what is available open source or cheap in 
order to design a board for it.  I have heard horror stories regarding using 
the free software available from the board shops and would appreciate any 
incite the group may have on the subject.

Thanks
Jim Ronald
