Hi Skippy
Thanks for replying. I’m not 100% sure yet how big the whole thing will be but we have a meeting to discuss on 7th Jan. A few people have got back to me with ideas but I will check “you tube” and get back to you after the meeting thanks

Hi Mark,
Can you describe how big “Small” is, will the little bee just need to do a figure of 8? (if not can you find a youtube video of the action).
For the figure of 8, a bee with a smooth bottom (PTFE?) running on the face of the sheet, with a metal washer in it, with a magnet on a toothed belt on the underside running round two pulleys
Just a high level thought.
Regards
Skippy

Hi,
I am not actually a member of hacman, but I am still on the mailing list, so sorry for butting in :-)
I am a part of the stonyhurst robotics team, and we have only just heard about this offer from our teacher, and with minimal details.
I do not know if he is replied or not to you, but there is significant interest from the members of the team. There may have been other factors that he knows about that are stopping this, or he might just be away for christmas, but I just though I should flag this up :-)
Cheers,
George

Hi
Thanks for that Paul. At 74 Dad struggles a bit LOL. He does voluntary talks at Primary schools about honey bees and has volunteered to help open a large Honeybee Centre and was looking for interactive ideas for 5 to 11 year olds. With this in mind, he has an idea to place a small robot below a large sheet of bees honeycomb and attach a vertical wire from the robot with a small plastic lifelike bee attached to the tip of the wire. As the robot does its figure of 8 below, it will appear to the child that the bee is doing its waggle dance. A simple button can activate the robot. He has had bees for well over 30 years and is passionate that a Centre will open up in the North West, as there isn't one anywhere near. He has contacted lots of robotics clubs already to no avail.He needs similar sensor activated devices for the same museum so if anyone wants to get their work exhibited in this permanent Visitor centre to be at ( www.samlesbiryhall.co.uk)) feel free to make contact. A grant well in excess of 100,000 is likely purely for internal items so it's not expected for free. If anyone can offer help?
Regards Mark
