SBOT STATUS

The goal of this page is maintaining an updated list of the status of the s-bots in IRIDIA For each s-bot, a short list of hardware/software problems should be given. Every time an error/problem occurs while experimenting with the s-bots, it *must* be recorded here.

Quick status update

• Christos is gone with 4 sbots (22, 23, 26, 35). 22 and 26 will be dropped at EPFL for repairing. Christos will be back within one week with sbot 23 and 35.

• 6 sbots should arrive from EPFL (when exactly ?).

• We have no serial cable at the moment at IRIDIA.
