Roomba + Tablet PC = ?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the because-you-can dept.

ptorrone writes "Using "off the shelf parts" I have constructed another pretty good mobile robot for my home. A Tablet PC is the brain and the Roomba robot vac is the locomotion. I'm currently working on sending the IR commands from the pc to the Roomba and having the robot "do a tour" and post photos / video automatically to the "roblog" (my robot photo blog). So yah, the Tablet PC sucks ;-]"

    This week I will start my Tom Clancy reading marathon.

    I will read all his books non-stop (pausing only for an 8 hour sleep every night).

    As usual, photos take after the marathon will be posted on the net.

    Please wish me good luck!
