    There's lots of information already available on the Parallax website. You can download whole books on Robotics, Process Control, collections of "Nuts and Volts" columns, and other stuff ... full of ideas on what you can do with a Board of Education. Read and try the experiments and examples. You will get lots of cool ideas for things to do and how to do it.

    In addition to what Mike suggested, be patient. Most ideas come when you least expect it. Relax; spend some time gathering
    information on general topics before you try to focus on one specific goal. Sometimes too much focus on a specific problem can
    stifle the solution. There may be another way to solve the same or similar problem.

    You're going to have to invest some time and energy into thinking about what you have and what you would like to learn / try / experiment with and then communicating that to this forum.· Several of us have already made suggestions.· Maybe you'd get some ideas by looking further into them.· We have no idea of what you already own, what you already know, so we have no way to make specific suggestions.· This forum works best when you have some idea of what you want and have already invested some effort into learning with what materials are already available for free.· Browse through the forum archives.· Many people have had the same thoughts or problems or questions that you might have and many answers are already there.

    Ryan, you need to do some work on your own. I suggest "Robotics with the Boebot". You can buy it or download a free copy at http://www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=28125.

    Lots of experiments described, starting with simple maneuvers like turning in circles and building up to object avoidance and other navigation tasks.

    Look for something round the house you want animated, I think the B.O.E. full kit comes with a servo and a mic, you could make a sound activated light switch or something. Or just check out the Stamps in class forum, it's full of lessons to inspire you

    shocked.gif·Oh! I almost forgot! I am new here and I am a beginner in electronics. I think I will make a topic in Basic Stamp related topics for new members to go to, later.
    Am I being annoying?

    You could build a robot to control your speed if you have a bike and make your bike into an electric motorcycle.

    RYAN'S dISTRICT, what is it you have done so far and what is your experience level? It seems there have been some good ideas given already.
