I've always thought that Linus hackers in the UK should form a Scrapheap
Challenge
team.
I think Alan Cox is a big fan!

(BTW, anyone been watching the challenge program about restoring
a stem traction engine? This week it is about restoring a tank.
Should be a great program).

Anyway, a robot might be fun.

Some random thoughts:

a) there is already someone on the list involved in a robotics project
    in London. Please speak up!

b)  you would probably be much better having this done as an undergrad
     project in a university, or by soem college students. They'll have
access
     to machine tools etc. And you get a bunch of enthusiastic
youngsters too.

c) have you considered what happens if there's a bug in your code
    and this thing rips your leg off ;-)
