Hi folks,

some days ago, I announced a drawing tool for manipulators via WWW.
I've got a good and a bad news about it. The good one is, that there
are people interested in it. The bad one is, that noone really knows
what DH-Parameter are. So most defined robots just look ugly. To cure
this problem, I wrote a short description for those parameters, but
I'm not happy with it.  This is why it announce:

  THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL `EXPLAIN THE DH-PARAMETERS TO ME` CONTEST

			   TFIETDHPTMC

			== The Problem ==

It's your task to write an explanation for DH-parameters which can be
understood by a common english teacher.

			== The Submission ==

You make a WWW page from your explanation and make it accessible on
your local WWW server. Then you send me the URL of your explanation by
email. I will make an extra contest page containing all URL's sent by
you.  So you can have a look on all other explanations by using my
page as a jump table. You can call this the first virtual poster
session on the net.

			== The jury ==

Well I've got no good idea. Probably the best way would be, that
everyone sends his personal ranking to me and I will mix up an overall
winner.

			== The prize ==

Bed and breakfast for one day in my luxury 3 room flat in Braunschweig for
the winner.

[ If you really mean it, you win the prize for the friendliest post on
  CRR ever.  And I'll return the favor!  -MB ]
