I was thinking about this, there are LOTS of robotics sites out there, and
they all have their particular objectives. The problem is finding them.

Is there a site that allows one to register their robotics site and provide
links? It would be kind of cool, I know I would love a site like this.

Does anyone know of such a site, if not does anyone what to build it with
me? We could set up htDig to search all the sites, showcase various
projects, it my be kind of cool.

I like Stephen Rainwater's www.robots.net

1)videos of robots
2)homepages "showcasing" peoples projects
3)programming
---PID
---vision
-----line detection
-----shape detection
-----obect recognition
-----face recognition
-----vision aided navigation
---navigation
4)motor control
(list of prices, power handling ability,
extra features)

IMO, if someone is going to take the effort to develop this depth of
information they won't just give it to another Web site to publish. Many
(and more all the time) of these Web sites are ad-based, and the ad
revenue is not shared with the contributors. If you've got a great
robotics story to tell, why give it to someone else? People like tooting
their own horns, and they like the control of having their own pages.
Sites like robots.net will remain as a general-purpose showcase of
what's out there.
