Bluetooth for Homebrew Robots?
MacGod asks: "As an extra-curricular for my university, I am working some other engineers to try and design a RoboSoccer Project (please don't wipe out our server if possible), with the hopes of entering the RoboCup tournament in the near future. We are currently using some low-frequency Abacom RF communication modules, but would like to able to go to BlueTooth if possible. However, I have found it nearly impossible to locate any suitable BlueTooth modules. We'd really like something that could be put onto a breadboard, and that would come with sufficiently detailed instructions that we'd be able to implement it without being BlueTooth experts. Any suggestion on homebrew BlueTooth solutions, Slashdot?"

I emailed the "Editor on call..." as a subscriber I got to see this submission before it went live... And understand ENGLISH... So I emailed the editor to suggest they remove the direct link to the website... Well, you see the results.... I await their slashdotting.
a Beowulf cluster of them.
You thought it, but only I had the courage to say it.
When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside
Ya' gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide
If you hurt my friends, can you hurt my pride
I gotta be a man, I can't let it slide
I am a real American
Fight for the rights of every man
I am a real American
Fight for what's right - Fight for your life
Well I'm feeling strong about right and wrong (Ooo yeah)
And I don't take trouble for very long.
I got somethin' deep inside of me
Courage is the thing that keeps us free
I am a real American
Fight for the rights of every man
I am a real American
Fight for what's right - Fight for your life

This is an important warning to all slashdotters. CmdrTaco has been luring
people (mainly underage males) into the slashdot compound to eat his "special
taco".
You may be wondering what CmdrTaco's "special taco" is. You will be wishing
that you hadn't been wondering after you finish reading this post. To make
his "special taco", CmdrTaco takes a taco shell and shits on it. He then adds
lettuce, takes out his tiny withered dick (otherwise known as his
"Commander"), puts his "special taco sauce" on it which means he jacks off on
the taco, and adds a compound to make the person who eats the taco
unconcious. Of course, the compound does not make the person unconcous until
the taco is fully eaten. Thus CmdrTaco force feeds the taco to the
unsuspecting victim. After all, who would knowingly eat shit and CmdrTaco's
jizz.
After the victim is unconcous, he is held against his will and used for
CmdrTaco's nefarious homosexual purposes. This includes shoving taco shells
up the victim's ass, taco snotting, and getting JonKatz involved. Trust me,
you do not want JonKatz anywhere near your unconcious body. Also, rumor has
it CmdrTaco is looking for a new goatse.cx guy. Don't let it be you!!!!!
The last thing you may be wondering is how this goes along with "taco
snotting", or what "taco snotting" is. George WIPO Bush and The WIPO Troll
have been doing considerable work explaining what "taco snotting" is. Please
see his FAQ on "taco snotting" which can be found as a -1 rated comment on
most slashdot stories.
Please, if CmdrTaco offers you his "special taco", RUN LIKE HELL!!!!!!!!

"Ford stared at Arthur, and Arthur was astonished to find that his will was beginning to weaken. He didn't realize that this was because of an old drinking game that Ford learned to play in the hyperspace ports that served the madranite mining belts in the star system of Orion Beta. The game was not unlike the Earth game called Indian Wrestling, and was played like this: Two contestants would sit either side of a table, with a glass in front of each of them. Between them would be placed a bottle of Janx Spirit (as immortalized in that ancient Orion mining song "Oh don't give me none more of that Old Janx Spirit/ No, don't you give me none more of that Old Janx Spirit/ For my head will fly, my tongue will lie, my eyes will fry and I may die/ Won't you pour me one more of that sinful Old Janx Spirit"). Each of the two contestants would then concentrate their will on the bottle and attempt to tip it and pour spirit into the glass of his opponent - who would then have to drink it. The bottle would then be refilled. The game would be played again. And again. Once you started to lose you would probably keep losing, because one of the effects of Janx spirit is to depress telepsychic power. As soon as a predetermined quantity had been consumed, the final loser would have to perform a forfeit, which was usually obscenely biological. Ford Prefect usually played to lose."
