Robots are really fun to mess around with, but as others have said, they are only good for the purpose you built them for. So, building one to show off that you can do it, will always have that purpose. I helped build and program the robot found here: My Boebot Project .

I hacked an old Super Nintendo controller to control it, and just that part of it made it well worth it. For beginners I recommend the Parallax BASIC stamp microcontroller. For the more experianced I recommend the Atmel AVR microcontrollers, they are faster but take a little more skill to operate.

I have been drinking pop for the past 10 years as my main source of liquids, drinking other stuff only occasionally. Yes, I know it’s bad for me and my goal is to at least cut down.
