What the hell was that about?
I just finished up a proof-of-concept project I was working on. The goal was to see how well I could remotely control my arduino prototyping board with my Android G1 phone. You can read about the robot I put together, the source code, schematics, some images, a video, and an overview of how it works here:

^^^
What did you do to color the upper left hand pin? Or is that just discoloring from cutting the metal? It looks interesting.




I built another robot "Forknife 2" that is controlled by my android G1 phone. This one is controlled using the tilt sensors in the G1 phone. It can also chop/grip stuff, and streams live video to the phone.

The Surveyor Corporation sent me a unit to make an android app for them after they saw the first Forknife robot I made that is in this thread. They are driving around a blimp with their G1. :)
