actually something that interest me, W9SES. Given the wieght and size of the
CCD and any transmittion equipment (probably kits are available) you would
need to mount this on a walker, probably a stryder since those can carry a
bigger load. I've thought of this too, but haven't looked for any transmitter
kits, tell us if you find anything! Good Luck!

noises. that be kinda neat to have a photovore that sounds like a frieght
train, and a walker that purrs like a kitten!

have, i believe the first one has a turbot that even got the best of a
miniball

play it back for 20 second duration. These will allow you to record
anything that you want your robot to say. The price was about $ 20. I
think I have also seen somewhat expensive pens with a recording chip
like this.

Another option is to make it and up load only kinda thing, so that there
is no danger of people screwing with what is on it. Have someone ( or a
couple of people ) have all accsess and take care of things.
