Hey Josh, I while back ago I was reading a lot of info about the history of robotics and such. I tend to just cram tons of info into my head so I can't sight the source and I can't find the article/page again for the life of me.
Any way there was a mention of another Starne and I instantly thought of you. I was wondering if you were any relation?
@rgordon, That is the guy I was thinking of. I remember seeing a pic of him with Scarlet. I'm sorry to hear about his passing.
I would like to see a video of his bipedal. I will be honest I never met him since he lived in another state. There's Brian Starnes too another cousin.
So you are, in fact, a sort of robo legacy? You're very talented so it wouldn't surprise me if it's partially genetic. Anyway, thanks for answering my question. Look forward to chatting with you more once we start getting our V4s. (I'm not sure if mines ordered yet or not. My GF is supposedly getting my Roli for Xmas so I've sort of hinted at the need to order ASAP. "Kevin Bacon Fingers")
This is one of my other cousins Brian Starnes , he's closest to may age

By no means have I had anything to do with his successes , but since you brought it up I started asking questions myself. I guess that creative bug might run in the family.

Nice! Getting a Roli is great , the rover 5 chassis it is built on has lots of available accessories , you can also do something I did once to swap out two legs of the roli to get 4wd !
