Aye! Since every recruit goes through initiation I just ordered the START HERE kit from picaxe (well most of the parts). Cool!   And then I got hands on a stash of harddisks at my job.

So far we came to this, video included. Some more to come ;)

It took some fideling with the code but it kind of works now. Very sensitive I noticed, setting some LED's to high (2..3) already made strange stuff happening (like not stopping for an obstacle).

It still needs an on/off switch, I will stick that in the back like a little tail.

It turned out very slow but that's ok I guess.

So what can it do. Well, drive arround, avoid obstacles, blink leds and moves its arms.

And it's funny. Especially when you tell "viewers" that it moves like lightning.
