hmm...
now you guys got me thinkin 'bout those key chains that have a response
system that beeps when you whistle at a certain frequency. Its for people
that loose their keys alot.
WHAT IF:
instead of the beep, you could attach who knows what to turn on with the
signal of the hacked keychain.
like a BEEP A "where are you beep?"(timed) calling out to the power
station. This triggers BEEP B "here i am chirp" from the power station
(plug or watever) this chirp )from the power station)instead of signaling a
beep (like from the keychain), activates a leg stop,or a shut off for one
leg motor for a pulse or two. Therfore changing the direction of the bot.
primitive, and not really "sound seeking" , butcould be defined as
"searching" hmm.. maybe im stretchin it a bit...
