I put together a quick Google Group for us to move our conversation to, assuming everyones interested of course. I'll send invites. If anyone else out there would like to join just let me know in this thread.

Sorry to chime in late. I just got back from camping myself. I've been
getting very interested in robotics recently (my youngest brother is
