- I am a grad student. Currently, I need to arrangement a lab for yr 2
- undergrad students. I am working with two SCORBOT 5 and two SCORBOT 7.
- I think using these robot arms to act as experiment is OK. Yet the
- documentations come with the arms do not match with the software.
-
- As the market is very limited in Hong Kong, the technical support is not
- technical and efficient enough.
-
- The lab will be started in mid of Jan. I will write the lab sheets 2
- wks later. I want to present the experiment to students in Macintosh's
- HyperCard. Hope I can do that.
-
- I do not have in depth technical information like the commands format for
- the controller (the TextBook 2 had published the commands format for
- SCORBOT III).
-
- The manual said softwares are available for Apple II, TRS-80 and IBM PC.
- We had got the PC version. As a die-hard Mac user, I would like the
- generate commands from Mac in the future.
