Hi everyone,

About a decade ago I recall browsing the personal website of some fellow
that made beautiful and complex robots for competition.

The website featured quite a bit about the custom computer boards (I think
motorola 68000, lots of PLCC sockets) and CNC machined parts made for each
robot.

Any advice for finding this? I unfortunately don't recall the name or any
text, just the photographs.

Hi Jason,

Do you recall what kind of competition it was for? Can you describe the
robots? (mobile vs fixed? wheeled? kinds of actuators? overall size?)
