It's amazing that sheep managed to survive for many thousands of years before domestication with their tails intact.

Chances are we changed 'em through selective breeding. We wanted thicker, woolier coats so selected animals which would be more susceptible to the problem.

If you do I shall report you for reporting him, so there.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

You do and I'll report you, all your friends, family and everyone who lives in a two hundred metre radius of any of them!

Anonymous cowards who can't be bothered to make fake accounts to reply with.
They can't downvote anymore, so they report.

You should see some other sites/threads on the net... people fight about any little thing. There's a neighborhood group on FB and people start arguing about just about anything.

No they don't, you're just making that up!
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I got a few reports for mentioning penises.
There is a strong puritanical streak in some on here.
Anything mentioning lesbians always got down voted.

Finally got all the parts today to build an AVR based DIY 4WD autonomous rover.
Something I've been wanting to do for a long time.
I think I should call it the Mr. Magoo mobile cause I know for the first few attempts it's going to run into everything.

Videos please (as you get things working) 
I've got a bunch of ideas for an autonomous vehicle, and a big box of parts I haven't done anything with 
Guess I have more money than time...

I have to work on embedding videos on my site but I definitely plan on documenting.
It will probably be a series of articles.

Haha. Hmm, where do you get the materials from? Any links I can check out? That sounds interesting.
djj55: Nice but may have a permission problem
Pete O'Hanlon: He has my permission to run it.

Excellent.
What sort of sensors are you using to make it autonomous? sonar, touch, camera?

So far have plans on mounting a Sharp Distance Sensor[^] on a servo that's to be mounted on the front of the unit. I've been working on developing the sensor firmware all week while waiting on the rest of my stuff to be delivered today, in fact controller board should be here any minute.
