Part 3 of this mini series of building a mini battle bot that can cause alota damages as this vid demonstrates the shredding of a thick mag. I did not know that un-brushed motor was so powerfull.
“In this video I will show you how to build a mini Battle Bot. This is my spinner robot that I designed and built using a frying pan, a few bolts, some parts from a computer, and an rc system. For a more in depth look at how to hack a Futaba S3003 Servocheck out this vid”
This vid will have you stripping your pc for parts to use in your battles bots which gives me a few ideas to :). This vid really gets you putting all the things together and making sense of all the bits and bobs.

This is a little 3 part series of videos i found on how to build 1 of my personal favorites yes a Battle Bot or even something remote controled with a radio control would have done me just fine but the fact that this is a Battle Robot is mega cool. Heres what the instructor has to teach and trust me he knows what hes going on about.

ok so its not so massive as your soon to find out but its progress and we likes progress previous record for converting percent of light into electricity was 40.7% set back in 2006. Thats alot itself and progress is slow but its all for the best in the end.
Department of Energy researchers claimed Wednesday to have broken the world record for efficiency in a solar cell. Their cell converted 40.8 percent of light into electricity at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo. They subjected the cell to the equivalent concentrated light of 326 suns.
Looking outside of the numbers, you’ll find that these cells differ significantly from the prior record holders, which enable them to be thinner, lighter, cheaper and altogether much more efficiant. Im sure if they compramised on size slightly they would break their own record in now time
Check this new bot out thats taking 7 years to create but its a very clever machine indeed. Has the instincts or a crab the cunning of a beetle along with the advancments of a Robot. Here meet Bruno
Each prototype has six-wheel steering, which means that they can turn all six wheels and crab sideways.
They also have what engineers describe as “wheel walking capability”. This means that when the vehicles come across a particularly steep or slippery slope, they can anchor themselves with five of the wheels and inch each wheel forward one at a time, to crawl over an obstacle.
The prototypes have a unique intelligent navigation system which enables them to plot their own course.
Such is the distance between the planets, it can take 20 minutes for an instruction sent from Earth to arrive at Mars. The delay means instant commands to change direction are not possible and so a rover must have autonomy to make decisions if, for example, it is approaching a dangerous precipice.
And because the rover will make its own decisions, it can also cover more ground.
Toshiba are rocking the boat again with a new installment of higher than ever before seen memory capacity in small sizes to be relased as samples later this year in various countries. The new 32GB Flash memory card has fitted well under all the main regulations for memory and is set to boom when its released most probably later next year.
Look out memory nerds, as Toshiba has just announced a more capacious embedded NAND flash memory device than you ever thought possible. The new 32GB chip boasts full compliance with eMMC and eSD standards, is fabricated with Tosh’s 43-nanometer process technology, includes a dedicated controller and should slip right into your favorite handset / PMP of tomorrow. Samples are slated to hit couriers in September for an undisclosed price, while mass production will get going in Q4. So, how long ’til you guys and gals repeat this news with “64″ or “128″ in place of that lowly “32?”

also check out the full product specs and listings at Toshiba site heres the link
Toshiba offers a line-up of single-package embedded NAND Flash memories which include a controller to manage basic control functions for NAND applications: LBA-NAND™ memory, which has a NAND interface; eSD large capacity chips with SD interface; and e MMC with an HS-MMC interface. This comprehensive line-up, available in densities ranging from 1GB to 32GB, supports applications in a very wide range of products.
There is growing demand for memories with a controller function that minimizes development requirements and eases integration into system designs. Toshiba has already taken steps to secure leadership in this expanding market, and the addition of higher density modules will reinforce the company’s position.
Came across this post on iphoneatlas.com seems that the iphone can call home and detect any unweary apps and auto disable them. A handy feature for any one thats weary of unrecognised content or applicational softwares.
“Apple has apparently included a blacklisting mechanism in iPhone OS 2.x via which the device can phone home, check for unauthorized applications, and disable them. The OS includes a URL that points to a page containing a list of unauthorized applications, specifically:
“This suggests that the iPhone calls home once in a while to find out what applications it should turn off. At the moment, no apps have been blacklisted, but by all appearances, this has been added to disable applications that the user has already downloaded and paid for, if Apple so chooses to shut them down.
“I discovered this doing a forensic examination of an iPhone 3G. It appears to be tucked away in a configuration file deep inside CoreLocation.”
This news was picked up from engadget.com about the latest iPhone 2.0.1 availability through Itunes. As it did have some problems in the last release will this overcome them and hopefully not pose any new ones?
Well, finally. iPhone firmware 2.0.1 has just been released by Apple, and we’re hoping it solves the myriad problems introduced by 2.0: crashing apps, interminable keyboard delays, choppy scrolling — you know what we’re talking about. We’re pulling down the 250MB file now, we’ll let you know how things turn out — won’t you do the same?
You Can Now Listen to the Music from Your iPhone 3G in Your Car with the Belkin TuneCast® Auto

This FM transmitter boasts ClearScan technology in order to hunt down and lock into the best FM frequency (good luck with that), but as we’ve already pointed out, the biggest boon is the iPhone 3G charging ability. For the scads of iPhone 3G owners who are downright perturbed by the inability to charge the thing with some other solution (please share, will you?), buying an iPhone 3G-friendly alternative looks to be the only solution. Trust us, we can hear the groans from here. Surely you feel like buying an all new TuneCast Auto just months after picking up the original, right?
Over all if your a vid radio listener and you own a iphone then this is the best bet for you to keep your freshly scanned tracks churning out from your auto’s speakers. Otherwise id just stick to the bog standard in car radio theyre pretty advanced to these days ya know
Its a sort of stage where everything just need to be mobile and if it aint then it aint up to date and moving with the times. The Iphone 3G or what i call IPhone 1.5 take mobile web browsing to a better level than even the smart phones. I love using my net on the move its just so much more convinient to check your mails and soon hopefully even make blog post from a mobile.
A recent study showed than more than 80% of iPhone users in most countries in Europe used this gadget to primarily browse the Internet for useful information. This is a large figure compared to about 30% of smartphone users who use their cell phones for the same purpose. With the launch of the iPhone, this figure is set to get higher and more and more users would find it convenient to use their Apple gadget for their Internet needs.
Over all i think the IPhone is a fantastic advance in mobile technology and ma seem at the peak but i believe its only going to ensure that there are even more advancments in these fields after these ideas have already been consumed. But i can really think what mobiles will be pulling out of the hat ten years in the future i dont know why but 3d multyplayer mobile gaming springs to mind :). Let me know what you think.
