	Brighton Robotics, in conjunction with BuildBrighton, have been asked to put on an event in collaboration with Bristol Dorkbot for the dConstruct conference. The event will be held on Wednesday 2nd September at The Skiff and will consist of an 'exhibition' of members projects plus the unveiling of a new group project that Brigton Robotics and BuildBrighton will have created together. After discussion we have decided to make some Cockroach Swarm Bots. These little bots will display the following behaviors in an environment with several bright lights and some shady and covered areas using simple subsumption architecture:		Brighton Robotics, in conjunction with BuildBrighton, have been asked to put on an event in collaboration with Bristol Dorkbot for the dConstruct conference.

	In this schematic I've included the values for the resistors and capacitors that I used on my board. The circuit is tolerant of a wide range of values. The resistors used for the pull ups on the switches should work with values from 100 Ohms up to and above 1 Mega Ohm. The capacitors as well, which are used to de-bounce the switch, should work with values from 0.1nF (100pF) and up.
