ARLISS article

[Erik Ebert]

For those of you that don't use facebook, I've been trying to learn
Japanese lately (still a beginner) and listening to a lot of Japanese
underground music, and jut randomly today I came across this wiki
article. Scroll down to the 'Cultural impact' section, second
paragraph!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocaloid

Wiki has links to two articles about it, one in English and one in
Japanese. The Japanese article even has a picture of their rocket
lifting off at ARLISS/XPRS:

The google translation of the Japanese article is even fairly readable
for a machine translation:

All,
Wakayama University is asking to borrow a beelineGPS for their ARLISS project. Does someone have spare beelineGPS that they could borrow?

Thanks,

Paul

Are you asking for a beeline or big red bee

[Paul Hopkins]

It is the Beeline GPS transmitter from big red bee. http://bigredbee.com/BeeLineGPS.htm

[Allen J. Palmer]

The reason I asked is that Beeline GPS is a trade marked name of a different
device http://www.visualgps.net/BeeLineGPS/

Wow, that can be confusing. Thanks for pointing that out.
