</div></div>Well, first you'd need to build a robot that you could control using<br>
python. If you wanted to do that yourself, a place to get components<br>
and parts would be the MUTR website - <a href="http://www.mutr.co.uk" target="_blank">http://www.mutr.co.uk</a> . Then<br>
you'd want to be able to interface from python to the robot. For that<br>
you could either use an arduino, controlled over the serial port<br>
(using pyserial), or using a velleman k8055 board, and the python<br>
bindings for that. (the latter is more direct, the former has more<br>
tools - both are fun IME).<br>
<br></blockquote><div>that gives me the impression that you know A LOT about building robots & controlling robots with Python. How can I persuade you to give a talk about it at EP 2010 ?</div><div><br></div><div>Or, if that fails: I will spend you some pints (guessing that is what the English are calling their beer?) for explaining to me how to learn this stuff (esp. the soldering, fixing, checking stuff)</div>
