Windows-based Robot and Development Platform

Monsieur La Vigne writes "I found this Robot running Windows, based on a STM 486 chip, and 802.11 connectivity. Apparently, the critter has a C++ , Matlab (?) based SDK and some proprietary bus for extension. Not sure what it does, but it looks cool. Has anyone ever heard of these guys or seen the SDK? Seems ripe for a linux port!" It's a little bit expensive.

    First of all, I doubt that the robot runs on Windows. Even Windows CE is too bloated for the bot.

    But even if the bot runs on Windows (even full-bloan WinXP), I bet the nice and witty people from the OSS camp can do an even cooler toy that runs on OSS platform - Linux or *BSD, among others.

    You don't know what you're even talking about, do you? I bet this was submitted by a slashdot story bot.
