Profile Information

About you:
I am a recent addition to the world of robotics, only building my first robot in the summer of 2008. Since then I have built a line follower, mousebot, tumbler and two sumobots out of kits. I have concentrated mostly on the electronics, never having held a soldering iron before, teaching myself all about circuits and circuit design.

I started Brighton Robotics early in 2009 because I wanted to meet and talk to other robotics enthusiasts like myself and didn't know how. Brighton did not have any groups or facilities for budding roboticists and so I decided to start my own. The first event was held in January and was a huge success with 25 attendees.

Newsletter #5 - BuildBrighton and Dorkbots

Hi and welcome to our fifth newsletter.

Quite a bit has happened on the Brighton Robotics front in the last month, and I've been run off my feet, largely because I have been involved in an exciting new project - BuildBrighton. You can read more about BuildBrighton below, but first lets recap some of the interesting things that have happened. First we had Tony Ellis come to talk to us about AIMEC:3, his voice recognition, web surfing robot and then we were honoured to host an electronics worksho… Continue

Frantic Fortnight - review

My hasn't it been a busy fortnight for Brighton Robotics? With one event a week for 3 weeks there has been so much going on I have been left rather too exhausted to review any of the fantastic events that have happened.

First off, on 25th June, Tony Ellis came down to Brighton from Crowborough to tell us all about his robot building experiences, toy inventions and bootstrapped business running adventures. Tony (known to many on twitter and other forums as Toymaker2) has been building robots sin… Continue

Newsletter #3 - Terminator and Tutorials

Hello and welcome to our third Brighton Robotics newsletter.

I know I usually do these a week before our monthly event, but I sent so many group emails last week I thought I would give you all a break for a few days :-).

This last month has been a very, very busy one for me, but less so for the site. It's been busy for me because I've been working on adding some new features that should become live very soon. I am hoping that these new features will help drive more traffic to the site and prov… Continue
