Robot Dock for Netbook

    The proof is in the past!
    Your netbook or UMPC needs its own robo-body!
    Such an epigraph for an article on Habré was born to me after reading the material on GottaBeMobile.com

    Not everyone has the skills and patience to make their own robot. The guys from RoBeDo.com will help many older , but still unplayed boys, get their own robot, and their favorite netbook or tablet will serve as its brain.
    Coppa ($ 1,649) and Silvio ($ 1,449)
    are available to choose from. Intelligence of the robot will depend entirely on the owner.
    You can add a bunch of USB lotions to the robot, from a USB rocket launcher to manipulators.

    Specifications:
    • 24-port I / O controller (8 analog inputs; 8 digital inputs,
      8 digital outputs) and an integrated active 6-port USB hub

    There are a lot of programmers on the hub, a sufficient number of people interested in artificial intelligence.
    For them, this is a great opportunity to see the result of their work not on a computer screen, but in physical reality.
    I think that very quickly a community of fans will be formed who will share their developments. This can be a little comfort to those with "you" programming.
