Nah, these ones are remote-controlled. They're as likely to revolt as the robots that you see on TV shows like Robot Wars.

That's pretty hi-technical. Right now, I'm in a robotics class at my local tech school. My most recent creation is CrazeeExplorerbot. It drives around using randomly-chosen subroutines and plays music similar to Mario's theme music. Also, I have built a schweet robotic Mario using my Mindstorms NXt set and a lot of Lego bricks. I did have a hi-technical idea for my Lego Mario robot. Since the NXT can be controlled by a Bluetooth device, and the Wiimote connects to the console using Bluetooth, could the NXT possibly be scripted to respond to Wiimote commands? (At least the buttons; motion control wouldn't be helpful in controlling robots.) If any of you guys know a website where I can get the programs to do this, let me know. I might even post a vid on YouTube of it in action. Very Happy
