This whole thread was most interesting.  I've seen a lot of interest
in robotics in other contexts, e.g. in k12.ed.math.  Definitely
robots are educational, or potentially so.

I wonder if it's cheating for a robot to have its "brains" in the
PC, with some kind of wireless connection to the servos.  Perhaps
that's not any more cost effective.  

Wireless ethernet has certainly come down in price.
