If the project is over, I wonder what happens to the robot and all the code. Does NASA own it with potential to further develop it? _________________________ - FireFox31 110gig MKIIa (30+80), Eutronix lights, 32 meg stacked RAM, Filener orange gel lens, Greenlights Lit Buttons green set

Does NASA own it with potential to further develop it? Good question. I think it belongs to the University of Washington, but I'm not sure. Ask him! Comment on the post, he'll answer pretty soon. They're just getting back in from Houston this afternoon, but he'll be online later. _________________________ Tony Fabris
