We are very pleased to start seeing “Tell us” submissions come streaming in; thank you for your thoughts about what you would find useful on CIR. One very cool idea that we are excited about is the idea of a “CIR Toolbar” that enables many robotics websites to make use of our resources. As we start to design the first version of the CIR site, a recurring question that we wrestle with has to do with breadth versus rich functionality. It is clear that being totally comprehensive (bringing together all the information available on all aspects of robotics) is not feasible as a starting point, so the natural conclusion is that we ought to focus on issues in robotics where existing on-line resources are weakest, and therefore where our unbiased gathering of information, teaching and comparisons can bring the most value. So we definitely want very rich forms of information and interaction between community members on CIR, but the important question is, what specific sub-areas of robotics should we focus on first? For instance, we are all personally frustrated by the lack of a single place where all the various motors appropriate for mobile robots can be compared by price, torque, dimensions, size, voltage, etc. Another example: I receive many emails a day from folks wishing to start using robotics curricula in their classroom, and there is no single web-based starting point I can recommend without reservation. What are the specific focus areas that you think we should start with, both because existing resources fall short, and because those foci can create community sharing, community buzz and therefore allow CIR to put its best foot forward right away? Let us know, submit a “Tell Us.”
