Joined the UWA Robot Soccer team - the systems and hardware are very
similar to my own previous experience
Image Capture & processing with a Matrox meteor
,C Language is used, LINUX based development system and MCP (including
gcc 68332 cross compiler for eyebot systems), Autonomous robotics.
As well as helping CIIPS win the world championship in the F180 class
at the Finals in Melbourne Aug 2000 (just wait and see) , I will continue
work on my project software simultaneously.

Robocup is finished for 2000 we did not do well :( not actually
having completed software in time being the main cause. We had a
number of serious problems in our hardware and our relatively small
team size not allowing us to spend time to do everything in time -
however the experience was very beneficial and allot of new ideas are
taking shape as a result.

I visited a quite a few different places in the UK and Europe.

Learning about chain mail manufacture here is a picture of a spot-welded link i made up,
you join Lott's of these together to make protective clothing.
Maille originally was conceived for protection and defence against cutting and piercing weapons , and still finds some use for this purpose.
Chain maile is still made today but now it finds more use for artistic-ornamental or fashion items, historical re-enactments, and butchers gloves or animal bite protection.

Began studying applied science information technology via open learning Australia and RMIT.
Doing a little home reorganising and renovation replaced my rear window with a sliding glass window.
Made up a my own bidirectional kite board out of pine looks pretty good and only cost me $100 in materials so i don't have to worry about damaging it.
Visited Canal rocks near caves road above is a photo; I have a plan to go straight down the center of the canal on a kite board sometime it will be great fun.
