 The search for an alternate one isn't holding up the present one,
 but the fact that the RCA amplifier module has developed an
 intermittent fault might. It looks like we'll have to send it back
 for repair or replacement.

 I visited SRI today, ostensibly to copy the literature about small
 electric vehicles that Steven Coles collected for the now defunct
 SRI robot project. While there I mentioned that we would be interested
 in buying (or whatever) any parts of Shakey that weren't needed,
 escpecially the TV transmitter and reciever. He (Coles) was enthusiastic,
 stating that it would make him much happier to see them furthering
 robot research than collecting dust, and he even offered to include
 Shakey's camera (which has remote focus and iris controls). We then
 went to see Peter Hart with this proposal. He was considerably less
 excited about it, and stated that there would undoubtedly be a use
 at SRI for the camera, but the only objections he could come up with
 concerning the transmitter were that a) since the robot was government
 property, it might be hard to arrange the transfer (the video link
 is not EDP equipment, he said)   and  b) It would probably take us a
 long time to get an FCC permit to run it. He also said (it seemed
 half-hearted to me) that he would look into it. I threatened him
 with a call from you. The rumor about Shakey going to the Smithsonian
 is just that, and virtually nothing has been done about it.

 I believe that we should remove the restriction whereby network users are not
 allowed to use APE or HOT.
 I suggest that our practice in this respect is inconsistent with our policy of
 providing neat hacks for the net at low cost to ourselves.
 Moreover, since we are apparently not pursuing this matter with the AP, we
 ought not claim "negotiations in progress" (like Nixon) as the reason we
 don't allow network users on.
