I'm in the robotics club at my college and a guy there is making a
robot for the robotwars/battlebot. Its uses a cutting blade of some sort
for its weapon. The blade has a four inch diameter and is 3/4 inch thick
and the cutting edge is carbide. Neat stuff

Unrelated to classiccmp perhaps, but one thing in
the UK and the US
that is rekindling some interest in electronics is
BattleBots/Robotwars. These are basically high powered and armored R/C
cars w/weapons that compete in televised events. Building one of these
things requires that you learn a bit about electronics (and
mechanics). There's hope for a few of the younger generation if they
get inspired...
Well, it's not going to Moon, but I agree that it is definitely a positive
and refreshing trend.
