    Default Robotic Arm Kit for PC

    Had to post this, I didnt know such a thing existed for run of the mill pc users.
    From some place called LynxMotion. I'm excited


    I wonder if it works with Windows Vista. . It would probably spin around like the exorsist and die. . haha

    There are tons of robotic gadgets you can get as kits or premade that interface with a PC. The coolest of these IMO are the homemade ones people make with their Robosapiens Most of these use serial cable commands in ASCII or simple apps written for USB or USB-UIRT connections.

    www.evosapien.com is a fave site. Here they have tons of mods with how-to worklogs.

    It's not the first walking PC. Not by a long shot! Of course, if you want to get into a debate as to what constitutes walking, the difference between walking and crawling, etc...bah.

    Give me R2-D2 any day.

    Yes, I know it was bad, but it is true.

    I noticed Lego being mentioned a few times lately, so I started a thread about my Lego trains
