We sort of lucked out the other day. We went garage saling last week (not sailing, saling) and I picked up some remote Control toys including Malcolm the robot.
Not much really just a motorized base with remote control and a blow up robot balloon on top, but with the addition of the remote controlled car and other parts we have the ability to create something more.
His moving about is handled quit well with his own wheeled base for what we want to do with him but we will have to add a more useful bot on top with more brains then just hot air. (Some of our foliations are getting by with the latter but this is the real world not politic so the blowup is probably going to go away unless we can make it a bit shorter and add stuff to it.
I am looking TA using an old Pentium 133 as his onboard brains with sometype of wireless networking like bluetooth to connect him to the closest network or even my PAN.
Next thing is to figure out what we want him to do so that we can then program him.
I have a robotic arm here from an old project that I will be adding to him. One arm for now, might leave one of the blowup arms in place as well as the head and pat of the body.
