Anyone used one of these before? I picked one up a while back, with the a2 controller card, and I'm thinking about messing around with it a little. Is there any way to attach a cup holder to it, or maybe a robotic arm? A speech card would be useful, and a cosmic ray gun to. That way, I could program it to drive into a room, deliver a drink, goose the person when they bend down to pick up the drink, laugh, and then blast them with the ray gun. Or... maybe I should just go to bed before I fall over. E.
You should get some sleep... ;-)If this is the device I think it is you should be able to do almost anything you like with it. It took commands from a LOGO program through an interface card in the Apple. Remember this machine is about 20 years old by now. If you can add new components to it you would probably want to add more RAM as well. What you are talking about wasn't anticipated but, as with anything, you could take the time and effort to get it to work. Time to dig out the soldering iron old boy.
