Carlo Bertocchini is SFRSA's most awarded competition robot builder. His amazing heavyweight robot, Biohazard, triumphed once again! Not only did the sleek R/C robot win the one-to-one heavyweight championship at BattleBots (the show is on Comedy Central (where it belongs), Biohazard won "Best Engineered" by peer vote.
Carlo also runs the Robot Books web site, which features a wide selection of just the books and magazines robot builders need! Forget about Amazon.com!. This site is brimming with resources from robot club links to toys! Check it out!
The Robot Store
Run by SFRSA's former president, Roger Gilbertson, Mondo-tronics' Robot Store Web Catalog features over 400 robot kits, books, and software, as well as Muscle Wires® shape memory alloys, and lots of other great robot related hardware, electronics, video tapes and more!
The Robot Store is a sponsor of the SFRSA Sumo Robot competetions and the Robot Games!
SIGHTech
Former SFRSA president Brad Smallridge has been busy with his company, SIGHTech. Brad's machine vision systems are easy to use and can learn objects/images in a few minutes by just looking at them through a camera -- no programming of the system is required!! These sight systems are invaluable in industrial process inspection stations.
