[Year 12 SofDev] iRobot Warrior Robots

[David Dawson]

Hi
If anyone is doing anything good with building robots from general junk
- or even using the Lego NXT Kits, I would love to have a chat.
These kits seem to take plastic bots into a new domain.
Please email me off the list - or to the list if you want to make a
name for yourself. :)

way cool red eye, but that white lead is a worry; a
wire-remote-control? :)


"Since 2006, iRobot has sold robots from their line of unmanned
military
drones internationally to 13 allied countries including Australia,
Israel
Gemany and the UK, Jon Dyer, president of iRobot's Government &
Industrial
Robots division, told reporters on Wednesday."
