Anything you want! The hacker port header is wired into the 3 green LEDs on the robot on the Basic Stamp 2's pins 8, 9, and 10. Schematic at http://www.parallax.com/Portals/0/Downloads/docs/prod/robo/scribbler/ScribblerSchematic-RevC.pdf and more good info and pics at http://www.andybrain.com/extras/scribbler-robot-review.htm . There are 330 ohm resistors in series with the pins on the hacker port. Be aware of those and their electrical effects, but you could disconnect the LEDs and use those 3 pins as general purpose inputs or outputs. Drive servos with them, build an arm on top. Trigger a camera on top to take a picture. Trigger an MP3 player to turn on or switch tracks. Fire a spring-loaded missile. Add sonar or IR rangefinding. Interface to an external circuit or another Stamp for your own evil purposes.
The Scribbler is underrated, but very capable. Look for upcoming articles in Robot magazine for new things to do with it.

I agree with erco - the Scribbler is a great bot. The price for all you get is unbelievable!
