Sbot
Good work on the Sbot, but I think you should expand the intro a little bit. I am not myself familiar with the concept, but I have a friend who worked on it during a semester project. You do not cleary explain that the purpose of these robots is team-work and that they must group together to execute tasks they cannot do on their own. Of course, the pictures are a hint, but it is not clearly stated. And, from an outsider point of view (me), it is more important than the actual components of the bot.

Questions to Wikipedia
I would like to upload a video of the Sbot on Sbot_mobile_robot. Is there any prefered format ? Video is not like images (jpeg or png) or sound (ogg), there is no free format yet clearly define. Ogg theora is a candidate, but few people can read it (only one from free unixes). MPEG4/DivX are not so free. Does anyone has suggestion ?

Thanks

Stéphane

Ok, I reply to myself, I found this :

Piano recordings
Hi, I've listened to your piano recording of Brahms Rhapsody, and it's excellent. Thanks for contributing such a work to the encyclopedia.

I'd like to know how your obtained such a clear and professional sounding file. What kind of equipment or process did you use. As far as I can tell, this is CD-quality perfection. ALTON  .ıl  10:12, 15 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I've used the following recording material:
 * 2 AKG C 3000 B
 * Edirol UA-25 USB soundcard
 * Linux Laptop
 * The recording was made in the pianist's house. I've recorded at 96 kHz, 24 bits. I put the microphone in a X-Y setup outside the piano with the top half opened. The UA-25 pre-amps are relatively noisy so I had to do some FFT filtering afterwards. Noise apart, I'm happy about the quality. I think a better soundcard would improve the sound. --Stéphane 13:48, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hopefully one day I'll be able to contribute with the quality you do. Thanks for the tip. ALTON   .ıl  23:16, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
