What's New
TrackBot at JavaOne 2009	First week in June, San Francisco. Look for us in the Java.Net pavilion and also in the Swarm of Brian Birds of a Feather presentation: BOF-5369
One Sun SPOT kit is available for sale	Recently out of stock from other sources, we have one kit for sale. We are not a dealer and won't have more than this one.
Upgrading SunSPOT to final Blue 080827	Recommended for all SPOT users especially those using the eDemo board UART (with TrackBot for example!)
Cool software for simulating and programming robots from Cogmation!	Simulation and code generation. Includes early simulator support for TrackBot. We hope to get the actual code running using Virtualized Intelligence™. It's not quite there yet but we are working on it...
TrackBot Runtime Firmware 008 Update	This is the most tested release yet - literally millions of messages passed between the host and TrackBot. This is a very stable release. We are working on a new release for 2Q 2009, and it isn't going smoothly... Anyway, upgrade to the current release (cheap!) now in the online store: http://www.systronix.com/store/trackbotupdates.html
TrackBot Technical Reference	Free download now in the online store: http://www.systronix.com/store/trackbotupdates.html
TrackBot base board Schematics	Purchase now in the online store: http://www.systronix.com/store/trackbotupdates.html
Video of TrackBot & SunSPOT presentations	Given at the Mobile and Embedded Developer Days 2008 Jan. Very detailed information about SPOT and TrackBot from the designers themselves.
New TrackBot V2 code video at YouTube	Check out improved sensor use as TrackBot tries to escape from a pen
Robotics community at java.net	The robotics community has numerous active projects including several for TrackBot. Recent commits include demo code for RoboDev and IROS. Links to those conferences and code are at the java.net robotics project page.
RoboSim contest	The RoboSim contest is technically over - but you still need this as part of the JavaOne RoboHACC "un-contest" - get all the information on the java.net RoboSim contest website. Use Java to control simulated TrackBots in the Greenfoot 2D world. Plus feel free to use this code for your own JUG or educational purposes. All of the code is free and open source.

Lots of JavaOne week TrackBot action - 2008 May
RoboHACC un-contest	RoboHACC is Robotic Hardware Arena Collaborative Coding, and that's what happened all week in the Java.net Community Corner in the Pavilion at JavaOne. All of the code is free and open source. Details at the site: https://robohaccontest.dev.java.net/
CommunityOne Day	TrackBot and its educational uses, with a live demo were presented by Bruce Boyes and Gary Thompson. Details on the appearances page: http://www.systronix.com/appearances.html
JavaOne BOF-6620	Wed May 07 at 20:30 at JavaOne. About 100 people came to see the Sonar/PIR plug on sensor module prototype in action as TrackBot attempted to detect a warm body and fire foam disks at it.
