Well, this is my first atempt at building a bot, it's not even near to be finished but you get a preview.
When finished, it will autonomous/remote controlled, in autonomous mode he will take readings from 4 ultrasonic sensors, will pick up things and drop them around, speak some things...
I'm also designing a dual ATMEGA328 board to it.
As I'm a programmer it make take some time to do all the electronics stuff. :)
Here's the first shot of the app I'm programming to control the bot, with the frame for a possible IP camera.
UPDATE: 24/04/2013
The dual ATMEGA328P-PU it's ready, two ICs sharing crystal and reset circuit with two hardware serial ports, 12 analog input pins (4 are going to be used for I2C communication between the ICs), 14 digital input/output pins (of which 12 provide PWM output).
Later I'll add a 5V and 3.3V power regulation circuit.
Added video of the dual Atmega328P-PU board runnning a synced led fade between the two ICs.
Navigates using ultrasound (not yet), can be remote controled by an aplication designed by me
