Re: worlds first tablet pc roomba robot (tablet pc=brains, roomba=locomotion)

it's used for a few things:
*navigation- currently working on vnc'ing in, using the
cam feed to control the ir port, which moves the roomba.
*web cam- it posts to the textamerica "roblog".
*other- one day it might move around on its own, but
that's going to take awhile.

cheers,
pt
