you should try it out and report your results :D. I'll probably do a little internet research on programming or stop by youtube and look at all the crazy robots they have on there.

i keep getting ninja'd XD. was talking about the lego robot.

Edited my name out from the image and rehosted it.

I'm half-tempted to try something with it but the other half says it be a whole big production that I'm too lazy to go through with.

Looking at the box, yes. Somehow at the club we managed to program it in some more sophisticated language.

Segment from the code I found printed out in the box:

Code:
 
/* the following tells which motors are on which ports */
#define EJECT_MOTOR 0
#define EJECT_MOTOR 1
#define EJECT_MOTOR 2
#define EJECT_MOTOR 3

/* LINE26 The following can be changed if the motors, crane, or claw are plugged in backwards */
#define FORWARD -1
#define REVERSE 1
#define UP 1
#define DOWN -1
#define STOP 0
#define OPEN 1
#define CLOSE 0
#define BASKET 1
#define NEST 0

Sure. Doubt I'll be using it again.

I once again recommend simply buying a Roomba, as they do everything you desire your robot to do.

If I knew more about building robots I would like to help.

I did actually build a robot with my Tech class in Year 11, I'll see if I can find my work from back then.

He lives a block up the street from me and sent me a text one night saying "You guys (me and my roomate) need to come over in an hour, I have something awesome to show you!" We had no idea it was a robot. I think he has some Youtube videos of his SPIDEE 1 too

Tell me, when does he expect to have the weaponized and sentient model ready for it's first production run?

Not sure. Although he is making them to be able to build things, including replicating themselves.

Great. If your mate inadvertently destroys mankind I'm blaming you for not stoping him.
