What are some of the better custom hardware/software options you’ve used with a PC? Have you used the Microsoft Robotics Studios software yet?

No moveable arms makes it a..well..PC on wheels. I think with a little development, be best served buying a remote unit that is controlled by a PC. Far more options available today for those that want to develop custom software and hardware. Don’t think I would vest the $5K+ I’ve seen them going for just to have a PC on wheels.

Lego has great mechanics and minimal computing. White Box has great computing and minimal mechanics. Using a pc is a great idea as there is lots of programming support and resources. But you either need your own machine shop or an encyclopedic knowledge of parts sources to do anything mechanical. Snapping together Lego parts is fun, but that dinky computer with minimal I/O is frustrating. Can we have a PC based robot with Lego parts? Is there a a universe of parts that can be identified and produced to work on the PC scale? The stuff that is manufactured in this world is amazing. and obscure Ah well.
