# Hello b3ta! I've made a robot!




His name's Colin.

He doesn't do a lot. But he can tell how far away things are, and so avoid objects and navigate around.

apols for the RPS

# Nicely done.
And his head reminds me of Johnny 5, which is an added bonus.

# He is. Although he has no weapons.
But he did manage to link up to the printer and print out an insulting message.

# You have saved us all from certain destruction
with the addition of the big reset button. Any nonsense from this little blighter and he gets his memory wiped.

# Haha, yes.
A lot of science fiction films could have been solved with that addition...

# You should give him a knife
And make him stab things that move. For burglars and stuff. That couldn't possible go wrong.

# I was actually thinking about doing this...
Well, not stabbing them. Just beeping a bit when he sees people. But I'm not sure how I'd detect movement, 'cause he rocks about a bit when he's moving, bless 'im.

# Woo, robots \o/
I made a robot once. Can't remember it's name but it had big teef and liked to sort things.
Did you man up and do it in assembly, or wimp out and use c? =P

# It's using a simple language called Picaxe.
It's pretty simple, so I guess that counts as wimping out. :p

# Your bot is awesome :)
Looks a lot more happy than mine...



(I didn't build it all myself - I did software myself and help design the rest)

PICAXE, eh? I've done a bit of that. Might have a go at making this robot myself. Excellent. Put a webcam and remote control on him.
