  1. I've been asked if we can get the kids' photos into the library system, but I can't figure out any way of doing it in bulk, and I don't much fancy entering them all one by one. Does anyone have a good solution for this? The MLS helpdesk say it's impossible, but I've had wrong information from them before, and I can't believe JL3 would be able to output the photos, but not input them conveniently. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be very grateful.
  2. We bought three InFocus IN2114 DLP projectors in February 2010. We've had significant problems with them: - All three of them failed within nine months. All three of the warrantee replacement units have also failed and been sent back. This despite regular dust-cleaning, etc. - I always have to phone twice for an RMA number; the first time they promise me an email which doesn't arrive. - For a while, they were very hard to get hold of on the phone - I quite often phoned their number and ended up speaking to a woman at a residential address in Scotland who was quite fed up with getting InFocus's calls.
  3. Sparkeh sent me a link to the Probot manual - here's the link, for anyone else who finds this thread: http://www.tts-group.co.uk/_RMVirtual/Media/Downloads/ProBot2_UserGuide.pdf
  4. @Powdarrmonkey - I'd forgotten I could do that - oops. It clearly would have been the sensible option. Oh well, too late now.
  5. ...except that I can't PM you until I've made 5 posts in the forums. Sigh. Here's a gratuitous post to boost my post count.
  6. Thanks Sparkeh. I'll PM you with my email address.
  7. I rang and asked TTS about probots, but I was told that they can't do rotation in degrees, only in whole right-angles. In other news: I spent most of this morning phoning Valiant's number, and they finally picked up the phone, so it turns out they are still in business after all. They now say they're expecting to deliver the Roamers in June.
  8. Primary. We use three tools, to give us a good progression: - Nursery, reception and year 1 use bee-bots - simple physical machines which you can tell to go forward, backward, left and right. - Years 2, 3 & 4 use roamers - again, a physical machine - like the bee-bots, but with repeat, and rotation in degrees, so the kids can program them to do squares, octagons, etc. - Years 5 & 6 use a logo program on the computer.
  9. I've been trying to buy some Valiant Roamers for more than a year now, but they're no longer answering their phone, and Companies House now lists them as "Active - Proposal to Strike off" - so I think they've gone bust. Can anyone suggest an alternative? The way our ICT planning works, we need a product that has a repeat function, and deals with rotation in terms of degrees, rather than whole right-angles.
