prob lol that would be funny though
i’m building a robot with linux that is much more impressive than this and doesn’t require a separate computer to run, but, it doesn’t look cool like this does
A lot of bugs to be worked out I’ve heard this much too often with Linux.
Thanks Shawn, you’re right, the Skyoh video makes it look really neat, it’s good to know that out of the box it doesn’t do everything. I saw one at a LUG awhile back and wasn’t impressed, but the RSS reading feature looked like an interesting implementation – but I suppose the same thing could be scripted and sent wirelessly to a stereo.
That’d probably be a mod so simple that even I could do.
your wrong its 199.99usd lol
I have been playing WoW on my dabian etch simply installing it using wine 0.95…
it sux
Yes it is cute. And I think red or orange eyes would be scary, not blue though. Im not a programmer either I lost a battle over two and a half days of getting World of Warcraft to be playable on my computer while using Ubuntu.
I’ll try again another time.
Considering the trouble you mentioned, perhaps the batteries were low or something might have been wrong with the unit?
where does he get all these electronics?
those eyes do not scare me you know what would be scary if his eyes turned red
hehe funny
use of this ?
podcast
These vids are great…keep it up! Also love your magazine.
It’s funny you mention that — I actually address that very issue over at the linuxjournal website…
The polo shirt suits you better.
Very good review. I think I will hold off on getting one although it is kind of cute.
Hacking gadgets that almost work, until they do what you want is half the fun.
Then, since you continued to mess with it past that critical point, and discovered new, and exciting ways to render it sub-functional. Trying to fix it again is the other half.
