I am the founder and CEO of Synthiam Inc and a former founder and CEO of EZ-Robot; as you can tell, I am also super passionate about robotics and community. I frequent the forum to help others build robots. Most of my inspiration comes from people here! I envision a future of Synthiam-powered robots living among us... Aiding the elderly and disabled, or simply being a friend. Robots are our future :) The world is ready...

Everyone Cross Your Fingers!

After months of searching, I found the company who produces the camera that I use. I sent them an email and they replied, in very broken english. They're going to provide a price for me to buy bulk. If the price works well, then we'll have wireless cameras for cheap! I'm really excited Let's hope they co-operate.
