 Ahh, that's good it's not entirely lost to the world!

 You would need to speak with Tedd before giving it away.

 The thing which I think would be great is if we could get binary versions of the robots for operating systems other than Linux.  Such as Solaris X86/Sparc, FreeBSD, Digital Unix, or whatever.

 I used to have a binary for Ultrix, but I am not sure I backed that up when I left the University.

 I and many others frankly could probably care less about seeing the code, but would benefit greatly from being able to run practice robots on our servers, for test or practice or just screwing around.
