erm... for LEGO purists, there's LEGO #8483 Technic CyberMaster ;)
(a pBrick with RF PC control that provides a perfect Lego roverbot chassis)

Check http://w3.one.net/~hughesj/technica/index/8400/8483.html

WOW !   Sounds like someone answered my prayers.  #3 appeals
to me.  It
sounds like just the thing to run the AI on a PC and remotely
control the
LEGO(R) Chassis.  Would it be too much to ask for pics of the
prototypes ?

I'm sorry for the delay in being able to post on this subject.
I've been out of town for a couple of weeks, and will be away for
a few days this week as well. It's the busy season for me!

Here is the current state of the game;

I have built a few prototype devices, one of which appeared at the
Cheshire Legofest in the UK - thanks Jennifer for fielding • the questions
for the last week or so.

This is the plan.

1. Build RF based motor controller with RS232 feature on • the controller.

2. Build RF based sensor controller with RS232 feature on • the readout
device.

3. Build combo RF unit with both motor control and sensor control.

4. Build "mega interface" for hardwired connection to host • PC with perhaps
12 - 16 motor channels and 24 - 32 sensor channels.
