Very cute robot interaction with colored balloons. Lots of head & arm motion.

And the cat is a plus for some folks.

    Sweet video, thanks for posting it. He put the code up as well, so it will be interesting to read through it. It looks like he's using sonar to figure out how far the balloon is versus the image scale. That helps simplify things a bit.

    I have a project using the Parallax line scan camera, the CBA robot, and concepts from Phil's line follower to track a color bar. I try to gauge the distance to the bar based upon image scale (the amount that's black versus white). Let me tell you, it is not easy and getting to do it reliably is a real trick. I'm not there yet with that one.
