I gave your mosaic a quick test drive. I fell asleep waiting for the congresisonal investigation movies to come across the net so I didn't see them. The project idea is fun, but it needs some tuning.

1) let users choose a password; i couldn't relogin with mine.
2) A 3-d wire frame of robot is better
3) I CAN'T BELIEVE KEN GOLDBERG HAS NO GRIPPER ON HIS ROBOT
4) I CAN'T BELIEVE KEN GOLDBERG HAS NO GRIPPER ON HIS ROBOT
5) I CAN'T BELIEVE KEN GOLDBERG HAS NO GRIPPER ON HIS ROBOT
6) Besides moving the robot, there isn't much to do. Thats why agripper or mini shovel etc might be better.
7) Second overview (global camera) might be nice!
8) I think you need a video game designer..I am not one of those!
9) An image log which allows someone to put together a composite imagemight be nice...along the lines of a photosurveyors table.
10) I CAN'T BELIEVE KEN GOLDBERG HAS NO GRIPPER ON HIS ROBOT

With sadness, due to a famous robotocists recent case of grasplessness, I remain...

Removed face pictures for driver. Maybe we can add this again in version 2.0 when we figure out how to get them. Should we remove the URL line in the operator's license application form?

I just discovered a Web site which allows a Mosaic Users to controll a LEGO robot with a camera. Check it out. It is at: http://www.ludvigsen.dhhalden.no/webdoc/pt/pt_dummy.html
