nothing to do with robots just thought id throw it up anyway.
yesterday I decided to make a tv antenna cause I was sick off only having channel 7s and as soon as it looked like rain I would lose them lol.
its just made from reo outta the steel bin at work and a ring made from a section of copper tube also outta the scrap bin.the only thing i bought was the out transformer that cost about $6 now I get 90% on every channel
I was gettng 100 when it was inside and using a sorter coaxial cable.not bad for 6 buks

you only have to get em off the ground a tiny bit to stop them getting away, the rest you can do at your leisure _________________ <Patrician|Away> what does your robot do, sam
