Speech Recognition With Http Server?

The ability to display and control ARC (which is in a PC) using the internet and an iPad, etc, is really impressive. However, I searched and found no mention of remote speech control in that manner. Nor can I perform it on my iPad. If I have missed something please let me know. I guess I could do it with two "walkie-talkies", one in one...

Another Question!

How does one mount. say, a 3 Servo Arm with Claw to a Revolution Six? I did read that the six doesn't need all six legs for stability, and I guess he could walk on 5 legs - if I detach one so I can mount the arm - but is there a way to have him have all six legs (because it looks cool, plus I don't really want to have to start calling him 'five' or...

Inertial Sensor?

Hi I think I've got myself a little confused. Whats the difference between an accelerometer and an inertial sensor? Or are they the same thing?

Brookstone Rover

my daughter is in the 7th grade. she wants to build a wall-e robot as seen on your website for her science project but the costs are greater than we can support. her hypothesis is that a robot can, on its own, travel through any maze, successfully. we have viewed all your video. we have searched the internet for cheaper options. and we feel that...
