    Ooh, I saw a brilliant vidio of like 8 of those chasing each other around a line-following path on the floor. Fast and clean.

    All 3 videos on the site are impressive and worth watching. I think my beloved Scribbler is hopelessly outclassed in the line-following race.

    I just ordered my 3pi!

    Now you'll have to figure how to graft a BS2 or propeller to it.

    An SX or Propeller chip could easily accomplish the same task. Of course, they could do it while at the same time handling the PWM for the motors as well. One of the local robotics groups in the area was working with a small platform that had the surface mounted line sensors under the PCB and moved quite fast. This unit looks to be about three times the size though.
