The new Arduino robot looks a bit like a robot vacuum cleaner, but it has a lot more going for it and it certainly doesn't suck - well not unless you add an air pump to it.

Designed as a collaboration between Arduino and Complubot, the new robot can be used as an easy entry to the world of robotics, both hardware and software.

As always, the Arduino Robot is completely open source and comes as an easy to assemble kit involving no soldering, just some plugging in of components. It consists of two circular boards, 19cm in diameter, each with its own Arduino controller. They fit together to create a stack about 10cm tall.

The bottom board has two wheels and motors which allow it to move in any direction.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.

We have a carpet sweeper / vacuum cleaner robot here.

It's programmed to follow my son around when he's eating potato chips....

The Klingons have many ways to fry a cat. I prefer to use an L7 Fast Battlecruiser!!
