Co-location is a lot more expensive than $45/ month. I pay £20,000 a year for a 10Mb pipe and £8,000 a year per full rack @ an SLA of 99.850% uptime. If you know of better value, let me know.
You just need sensors, servos etc, datacapture / buffering and radio control stuff on the actual robot in potting compound or similar to protect it. The CPU & storage devices can sit inside the protected observation booth and just watch;-)
I manage three sysadmins (including a DBA) and they are an amazing, fun, talanted group of people and it is part of my job as a manager to let the rest of the company know what they do and to sing their praises.
I too live in the UK and met my Brazilian girlfriend off the plane from Sao Paulo this morning. 1) Is there a high incidence of UK techie guys with Brazilian girlfriends. 2) Are we all sharing the same one?... more on topic. I have experienced severe problems with routing in Europe when major US routers go down, let alone trans -continent routing.
There are some Spanish & Brazillian guys doing some reasearch on small electro-mechanical muscle fibles made from laminated electricaly conductive plastic that flex one way, then the other as an applied voltage is reversed. The research here was also done in 1997 (same as the P3).... Does anyone know any recent developments on this robot?

Some IT managers do also read /.
