Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone has built a robot or one of the palm pilot robots? I recently aquired from a friend his "busted" Palm. It makes a high pitched noise when batteries are put in and the screen stays blue. I'm betting that he's dropped the Palm a few times too many and damaged the LCD display part of the Palm. (found a place that sells these used for a decent price).

I was thinking of building one that would follow me (I would have a simple wireless signal being emitted from say a pager or something). It looks like it will be a good experiment in building. The only downside that I've found thus far is that one of the boards that is suggested from the http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~pprk/ where they built the first one is entirely in BASIC. I was hoping for a little more of a functional language. (maybe I'm too optimistic or dreamy about it).

Ideas? suggestions?
