Hey all!

Unfortunately I can't make it to the meeting tonight, so I put together a 6
minute video of me walking through the robot, some history, and the TABLEBot
Phase III demos!

Junkbot is a "retro computing", or should I say, "retro hobby robotics"
exercise where I solve the TABLEBot Phase III challenge with hardware I had
when I first heard about the TABLEBot challenge in Servo Magazine back in 2005.
It's built around a Parallax Boe-Bot + Gripper with a BASIC Stamp 2sx, a
CMUcam v1, and several sharp distance sensors (GP2D120X).

I relived the pain of PBASIC for this ... but IT WORKS!

Great video Nathan. Good to see you made it possible to achieve the goals in a difficult setup.
