Emotobot is one of the latest projects to be undertaken at ICM prototype by myself Steven Gartland and anyone else who fancies an input.

I'm thinking about going to the hack green hanger sale on 7th October. Anyone else interested in going?

So, I have a Lego Mindstorm and a (small) power kite and I would like to build a robot that can autonomously deploy the kite, take off, sustain flight indefinitely (wind permitting) and land safely. If that's not ambitious enough, I would then like to enable it to be remotely controlled through bluetooth. Any takers?

We have been invited to the opening event of the Broadstairs hackspace, which will be held on Friday the 20th of April at 7pm. If you are interested, leave a comment below so we can organise transport etc.

As the birthplace of computing, Bletchley Park is certainly a worthy candidate for a Prototype field trip :)

A digital file library for Prototype...

As a basic idea it's a file server for the room that members can access. Great for storing digital magazines, data sheets, open source isos etc..

What do we think?

The first pieces of equipment arrived for ICMP today.

We now have the basic items such as soldering stations, fume extractors and a good selection of tools.

And, the first project has been soldered! Congratulations to Steve on being the first official user of ICMP!

The webcam inside ICMP is now live. Keep an eye on it to follow along as we fit out the space.
