IR controlled Robot

This is my first robot and I am quite pleased with it. I use a standard remote to control

forward, backward, left, right, and stop. I put together the simple circuit on a small bored

and put the IR receiver on the other side. I plan to add more features which I can control

with the IR remote. I want white leds for headlights and red for tail lights. An srf05 range sensor on

a servo would allow me to push a button and put the bot into roam mode where it could go off

on its own. I want to add voice more than anything. I was thinking of getting the mp3 player

and recording phrases from my macs voice generator. I could then have it say things like

the date and temperature. Besides movement I feel like voice is the big life giver to robots.

After I have all my concepts down I plan to put it into a bigger frame and have it casually

roam around the house, maybe solar panels for when it roams outside. Tell me what you

think! Thanks!
