This is my first post so I hope it comes out properly. GREAT idea, maybe I
can add my $.02.. I was thinking that the turtle might get frustrated if it
actually didn't "feel" like it was going anywhere. So why not put some free
moving tank tracks under where his feet would walk, allowing him to feel the
sensation of movement. You could possibly use rotation sensors to sense the
movement of different sides, or possibly use touch sensors that get pressed
via the bumps on the tracks. Just some Ideas.. OH, how about mounting a web
cam to that turt-bot when you're done, I'd love to see pictures of this.
