> Hmmm... have you considered the legality of this?

I hadn't really considered the moral issues when I replied. I had been
considering the design of a catalult capable of precise aiming in the
office to send wads of paper to co-workers. I guess I originally
thought of the robot in the same line.

But, if the OP is even thinking of doing anything along the immoral
lines... you have what's coming to you!

Catapults are cool, I don't think I have enough ceiling height on my
floor to really nail someone :)

I think the Pervbot is beyond my engineering (hah!) expertise.
Besides, I'd never be able to get away with it, I've got a reputation
for over-contrived trickery. When life's problems get too easy, you
have to come up with more difficult solutions. :)

Well, you do have a point. I'll take the chances. I know I'm not
trying to get away with anything especially since where I'm at, there
are very few females, and even less who wear skirts. Also, I've
already settled on 32x32x4 video, just enough for remote navigation.
Thanks for the warning, anyway. :)
