DO NOT DO IT! GOOGLE CHECKOUT IS THE WORST POS OUT THERE!

Story:

I tried to order something with exactly the amount I wished to spend on my prepaid card and it was declined because they charged me three $1 "autorization charges" instead of just charging me the amount I wanted to spend, then to make matters worse when I added more funds to my card and decided to go for a bigger deal, these assholes, run the DECLINED order through without any authorization!!!

NEVER AGAIN!

Nice Job Hanno, Very impressed with Viewport. I think it's a bit advanced for me right now but I think I will be getting it in the near future. But first I think I will get the Propscope. Anyway again Nice job and Cheers.

Wow, he did the same process as my friend did here in Auckland, he too used an IMU and used a Kalman filter.

This presentation was done in Christchurch, and probably organized by the Christchurch Robotics Group.

I'm from the RoboNz group here in Auckland.

Hi- I'm the presenter :)

Robotics is lots of fun and it's a great time to get started. Check out my site (see url in the description) for more information and slides that go with the talk

and yeah googletech talks are not exactly known for their polished presentations, ive seen a few now where random things happen, like the picture flicking to someone on a webcam :S lol

Great work - almost nothing's as fun as robotix. Affordable is good -- would be neat to have robots as pets(like furbys or somethin) that could be taught to do some basic chores or act as a security system while you're away.
