It's ready to go at:
ftp:///www.hydrorobotics.com

username: roboat

Only 1 whopping big zip file, you can't miss it.

Also, the guys from RoBoard should have it on their site for download
shortly. Let me know if
there are problems or I can help in any way. And, Taylor, thanks again
for your RoBoard stack ...
learned a few zillion things from it already!
