You will be assimilated... actually, while I've always liked hybrid

There's a lot of other intersting ones out there, some that pop up on NXTlog
(although there's still a lot of "barely modified Tribots" there as well). Some
nice holonomic platforms like Steves Omni and some more standard "drive the
