Just got my TI Bot via Hack-a-Day (woot!)
... then ended up in the hospital and sick for a couple weeks.
(Grrr. Frustration.)
Had an idea during the down-time, though:
code.google.com/p/cellbots/
Question for the group:
How hard would it be to write code to run on the Evalbot that'd let you plug an Android phone in and have the phone :
* run the motors
* Check the bumper sensors
* Send to the display
* read the push buttons
* read the wheel sensors
Any ideas on a more complicated deal where you could send complex commands from the phone to the Evalbot? (ie, turn X degrees, go X meters) ?
With the GPS , camera, accellerometors and much more memory/processor in the phone, plus WiFi and Bluetooth, it'd be a quick path to adding more sensors.
