Those things remind of the old electronic game "Simon". The Roomba, I mean, not the hound. I can't help be imagine one of them running away squealing from what hides under my sofa, like some frightened little android from a Star Wars movie.

We had simon ... I think it cost something like $39.95 30 years ago, and all it did was blink lights ... then came pong.

You need a better camera.

Just so's ya know how far technology has progressed; when Robert Heinlein "built" this same machine in 1957 in "The Door Into Summer", he had to use a wheelchair for a chassis, in order to accomodate the electronics.

Camera's fine (Canon) ... that's a screen cap from a video.

Like I said-- screen cap or not-- you need a better camera. We want results, not excuses. And I mean that in the best way possible :)

Click the Pay-Pal button and show me how nice a camera I should have :D

Boy, that discussion ended in a hurry. :D

Slow down, Rodger. I'm not a constant lurker, you know.

It would have been better had I said "You need to use a better camera." I've seen better pictures from you, so I know I don't have to buy you another camera. Besides, Christmas just about cleaned me out. Too many relatives!

I'll give you bonus points for being able to post screen caps, albeit of low quality. However, one should always use the right tool for the task.
