Kind of a broad request. If you're really that interested, it's more on you to do the legwork. Projects are all over the forum. Use search and you will be amazed at what you find.
I hope you take a look as some of the projects people have done with the Propeller to see how useful it is. I've listed some of my projects in post #2 of my index (see signature). I also have links to other robot projects in post #12 of the index.
FYI, Parallax has a whole forum where we talk about robot creations made with Parallax gear. It's call the Robotics Forum. There are lots of pics and videos there.
The username of a post is hot-linked. So if you click on erco, Duane Degn, or Martin_H a menu will appear. There's an option to view forum posts which allows you to see the threads that user started or replied to. Some users (e.g. Erco) are prolific project creators and post many video and source code as well.
Me, I haven't gotten around to posting pix yet. But I am working on a $20 robot kit for schools. Hopefully there will be bunches of bot pix from that line of inquiry.
Here is a BOT I built with parallax parts. Contains the following parallax items
1. BS2 Homework Board
2. PING & servo/bracket kit
3. Parallax Servo Controller (the old one)
4. Parallax continuous rotation servos
It free roams and avoids obstacles with a modified version of the "roaming with ping simple" program available for the BOE Bot, does not have the IR sensors like the BOE and I offloaded the servo work to the servo controller which is why it used the simple version. It can also be driven with any IR remote programmed for Sony. I experiment with it a lot, it is about to get a brain upgrade to a prop! The pic shows a little piezo speaker, it has since been upgraded to a Sound PAL that I got in the parallax anniversary mystery pack. I even put a parallax.com label on it because Parallax is AWESOME and I want everyone to know that!
I think your robot is great as is, but if you do decide to switch over to a Propeller as a controller, make sure and ask for help if/when you get stuck.
Thanks for posting the pictures. They were a lot of fun to see.

I hope you check out erco's Figure 8 Challenge. Lots of fun stuff there.
How about yours? Any pix yet?

That is one cool robot! Awesome!
I'd love to see a video of it in action.

Nicely done, Joe!
