Bot name: The Robot Arm
Description: The brain of the Arm is a Beta computer, developed as a project for a column in the Dutch popular science monthly KIJK. The computer is just a little `controller', a 4" x 3.2" PCB with a 6502 (cpu), a 6532 (RAM, I/O, timer), a 2716 (EPROM) and a 74LS00. The controller plugs into a `terminal', equipped with a keyboard and six LED number displays, used alphanumerically. On the terminal there is also a socket for writing EPROMS, allowing a very cheap setup where you first use the controller to write programs for it. When finished you replace the monitor program with your own EPROM, and then you plug the controller into your hardware project.
