Wow! This is the greatest thing since sliced bologna. Not that we'd want to
build one, you understand, but plenty of kids probably will, according to the
MSNBC article:
<<The student who actually built the Pilot kit is 17-year-old freshman Grigoriy
Reshko, a native of St. Petersburg, Russia. His family moved to Pittsburgh five
years ago. He says since the Pilot robot kit page appeared on Slashdot last
week, he's been deluged with e-mail. Already, five readers have begun
construction.
"They promised to all send pictures, so we'll see if it works out," he
said.>>
Who knows what these guys will be doing in two or three years... making
full-sized autonomous ATVs from Apple Power Books maybe... or designing a
transhuman robot.
