New Europa Workshop - The Toolbox


The House: News and Highlights The Arena: Eternal Round-Robin Tournaments The Toolbox: Tips, Tutorials & Downloads Credits Links


This is a place for tutorials, tips and tricks - things that are nice to know, but don't make up a whole vehicle. If you have ideas about a certain design strategy, or you've written a tutorial and need a place to hang it, send it in and I'll include it here. (For instance, it would be nice to have commentary on the different components that goes beyond the manual. I'm working on it, but any help is welcome. I'll be sure to keep your name attached...)

While nearly every competitor is available for download through the Arena, the rovers there may only have the .vmf files. The examples here on the Workbench always have full wiring to assist you in your quest for world domination.

Almost all the rovers are available through the Arena and the ones with full wiring are showcased in the Workbench, but there are things besides rovers worth downloading. Go here for the MindRover patches and updates.

This parts list was inspired by a suggestion from BradW in the CogniToy forums. A plain text version can be found here.

A few ideas to make your MindRoving easier. (Right now, a very few.)

An annotated look at the Bearing Sensor component code. The first in what I hope is a long series of such articles.
