    Most eggcelent proof of concept there, Erco!

    I'll look forward to seeing this on shelves from a certain toy maker this Christmas! (Okay, at the Toy Fair next winter.)

    Erco, such elegance. I like it!

    Okay now I guess it's time for the zero-servo robot contest. :)

    Nice.

    But why are your robots watching recorded TV before the regular shows?

    Clever idea. Did you make the parts yourself?

    Thanks and yes, it's all home grown & hand fabbed. Just started, and per Gordon, bigger things are afoot for this one.

    That's fun. I could see that in the garden or greenhouse all dressed up like a lady bug, complete with antennas bobbing around..

    I see you cut a Prop chip in half so it would fit in the box, Did you try to program a figure 8. It looks very maneuverable.

    Good news: Yes, I cut a Propeller in half to fit.
    Bad news: I only did half of the figure 8 programmed. :)

    Thanks, it is maneuverable, except that it has to take fixed-length steps, and no reverse. Plan ahead! Yes, I'll knock out a figure 8 when I get a chance. Racing against other deadlines right now.
