I live in West Milford, NJ. I am on the verge of purchasing a robo-one style kit. I am in search of other people in my area who have or are interested in these types of robots. I've searched for clubs in New Jersey and haven't been able to find a club dedicated to these types of bipeds in my area. So sound off... Where are you from?

It is hard to find many people in the US that have a humanoid robot. I live in KC, MO and know of no one else who lives with in two or three hundred miles of me. I tried to start a robot club of my own but found little interest. There is a robot club in my area but they all have Lego or Vex robots. Don’t let a lack of interest in your area keep you from buying a humanoid robot though! Just think of your self as a trended setter. Hopefully the interest in the Pleo and I-sobot will get more people into robots? I also hope that the low cost of the RoboPhilo will help the situation more.

I really like both the robonova and the bioloid. The robonova looks great and works really well. Unfortunately the Servos are not as programable as I hoped. Once we can control the servos with pure serial commands It will be much better. Robobasic is the worst part. If I could program using C I would be much further into real development.
I just started with the bioloid a few weeks ago. The servos are great and easy to program. Programming using he provided software is not so good. There are a lot of steps to get something done. I have a lot of experiance with the AVR processors and I'm looking forward to writing some C Code.
Eventually I will put a Gumstix inside them to start some real work. My goal is to someday be able to compete in a Robocup event.
I have a pretty busy job and I don't have much free time. The are no robotics clubs around that I know of. This forum is pretty much my robot club

Currently I have a lynxmotion brat and I am thinking about the robophilo.
I like the Bioloid alot but I think it's out of my league as a beginner in programming. The robophilo looks like it maybe great for someone beginning who does not have a super large budget to throw at it.

Pohatcong NJ - last exit 78 west
just finished assembly - I would like to see what everyone is doing as far as mods and also get some fight experience. I was thinking of traveling to AZ for the Hitec show in April and maybe take a shot at the obsticle course and battle a bit.
