[SC.LUG] Robotics

[Martyn Kinder]

Takes one step forward.

I'd like to have a go at a mouse/maze project, using a Linux based PDA sat on the mouse.... I *know* its a bit childish but starting with a nil level skill base this seems a sensible start to me. The hardware of the mouse could be a cheap radio control car - it has battery compartments, servos etc. all it needs is an intelligent driver...
