Great job on the sweaper! Somebody needs to create a calculator powered vacuum cleaner. ;)

actually that sweaper is a vacuum cleaner (^_^).

This is sweet. When will we beable to get one of these that we can hook our calculator up to and run around our homes? It would definitly be nice to have around.

hey they stole my plans.
just kidding.
that is sweet I wish I would have thought to have a robot controlled by a calculator. right now though i and a fellow collegue are only working on wireless text messaging network. i know its already been done but it would be cool to redo it.

Now we know that z80 assembly isnt only for games and maths :)

the 3 r's: readin', ritn', and 'rithmetic!

Let's not forget about http://smallrobot.com/ Granted, no solar panel or vacuum, but it's easy to program for (uses the Send( and Get( CBL/CBR commands).

wow this robot is really cool but the timing is a bit weird because i had a dream last night that i was controlling a robot except the crazily-modded ti83+ calculator was a wireless controller.

at what position in the news video is the feature on the cleaning robot located?

I believe that link now links to the newest news footage of that news brodcast. I checked all up and down between 20-35 and saw nothing.

I did see some tennis guy speaking english getting all pissed on a tennis court and totally making a fool of himself. o_O

Every once in a while it comes in handy to speak dutch. ;) Actually, I think this might be the first time I found a link to dutch material on ticalc.org...

The press never leaves me alone! ;)

It seems to me that the technology could have been put to better use.

Hey Matt

What do you mean exactly?

Mechanical-or electronically?

Anyway,, this is a prototype, please keep in mind that
this unit is build in only 4 weeks of time !

We did use some simple I/O like µswitches and everything, all part of the concept btw, but it had been also very easy for us to interface some infrared or whatever...hey this robot is even ready for interfacing a CMOS-cam or a speech unit...can you clarify your remark here please?
