| Lawrence, That's a new Sharp GP2Y0A700K0F IR Distance sensor (measures 1m to 5.5m). It'll be on the site in about a week. I'm teetering on purchasing a crimper to crimp the tiny conductors for the cables for the connector, or letting customers do that. The crimper is almost $400, so I'm not sure I can justify it. Of course, it will be a pain to have customers crimp them...I guess I'll get our cable manufacturer to quote them as well.  If they have a good price, then there will probably be a 4 week lead time. So, to begin with, customers migh have to crimp/solder the conductors/pins onto the wires, then insert them into the connector. I have 250 of the sensors in stock, along w/ the connectors, and conductors...I have to put them on the site, and get the girls to package them. Best Regards!

| Hi Jason: In the user documenation when I click on Traxster navigation video I don't get Camtasia loading a video, I get taken back to your website. The Line Following Video loads fine. Is the new top plate and servo hardware available separately? I will want to upgrade to you current configuration. Otherwise documetation, samples etc. look great! You did this kit start to finish in record time! Lawrence

| Hey Lawrence! Yes, you will be able to purchase the "Sensor Platform" plate at the end of the month. I only have two prototypes in my hands at the moment, but the rest will be here in a few weeks. I will post the navigation video tonight to that link...didn't have time to post-edit the raw video. Thank you for the compliments! Sean seems to like the library too, and the kit is debuting at the Embedded Systems Conference this week! Hopefully the .NET Micro framework team will like it too. I'll ping you when the "Sensor Platform" plates arrive. Let me know if you see anything else that needs fixing! (by the way, I still have quite a bit of updates to make to the Traxster MF kit page...what you see now is all I had time to do. ). Best Regards!

| I was able to get the Traxster Simple Navigation video edited and out on the web last night. I will be making a cooler navigation app in the coming weeks...This one is VERY simple, and not very impressive. Nonetheless, it still shows customers how an overall Navigation app would at least start off. There's a lot more sophistication and intelligence that can be added (which is what we want customers to have fun doing!). Best Regards!
