  Toy Robots - Imagine that!

Hitec Robonova-1.  So far pretty happy with it.  It takes some effort to get the software going in Vista (and more specifically Windows 7), but once all the OCXs are re-registered RoboBASIC does run ok.

Huge thank you to the web pages and contributors at RoboSavvy.com.  They have provided many hours of reading so far, and I expect many more to come.

I have 2 upgrades coming for my Robonova-1. First a gyro. See a video of one in action here. Second is a blue tooth adapter that will allow me to download/control the robot wirelessly from a blue tooth laptop.

Some still pictures of it during build and as it gets mods are at my pbase site.

Here is a movie I made of my robot. The moves are just the default ones that come with the robot. I will program some original stuff, as soon as I figure out what it is I want it to do.
