I have an E-125 and it will take a little more than a simple H-Bridge.
Though I agree, it would be a fine platform for doing robotics. One idea
that we've been playing around with at Hangar 18 is swarm computing. What
the basic idea is to use a PDA (we're talking Palm and PocketPC in tandem)
using 802.11b for the 'mesh' and then use the USB port to drive one of
these PIC based USB converters. This would give you a reasonable 'Geek
Port' at that point. The only question we have at this point is the
various libraries for the PDA's and the PIC's. There is a cash flow
problem at the current time due to market conditions so we are not making
a lot of progress on that front.
