Hi David,

Honestly, I'd think a book might have relatively limited audience simply
because not that many people are building robots of the kind we talk about
regularly here, but that doesn't negate its value. Maybe more people would
take up the mantle and try. As you've said, it's hard. What you've done is
provide a good basis for people (like me, forinstance) to get a leg up
on a very difficult venture.

Well, the slide show is fine for those of us who already know the
context but of less value to those who don't, but still interesting.
At 106 slides it's perhaps a bit impenetrable for somebody just
starting out, without enough context, dunno.

Ponder away! The offer certainly stands, would be both happy and honored
to help out.

Cheers,

Murray

     The rice leaves in the garden
     Rustle in the autumn wind
     That blows through my reed hut.
