That would be awesome. Right now mine doesn't work. Bad firmware flash. Ugh!
I'm a facilities manager in bio-research. Did automated building controls for several years. Raced cars for a few years. Mostly I just like to tinker. Been taking things apart since I was 5. Been in love with robots since then too. It is so cool to actually build one, Thank you DJ.
spykee will be a cool one to hack DJ and other 2 more is RECON 6.0 AND SPYGEAR TRAKR both low cost looks easy to hack ,trakr as a usb port ,usb computer port and memory card i have both of them,look great to hack but would be nice to have a control for it too. as you can see love buying all types of robots ,getting heatkit hero soon and then a very advance robot latter,seen a few near $5000 to $10000 i lke alot,so my be in a few months will get it
@robotmaker,
Some are home builds and alot are collected...I have almost all of the Wow Wee robots large and small, RS Media, RoboSapien V1/V2 , Robo Boa etc. Tomy Omni bot 5402 , I-Sobot, I-Que, I-Cybie , some tin guys, I also have a power chair bot in the works and this unique bot that that uses a gyro to make it walk plus others.....o ya, and Wall-e.
This bot has wireless almost everything and since this pic I've added wireless cam to Robot Realm, and sonar, it can walk in any direction at multiple gaits and has an accelerometer for balance.
Basically it's my test bed for a larger project in the future.
