Neat project. I'm a big fan of Snap Circuits so this was a cool project to see. I'm thinking of doing something similar with Sphero RVR. My biggest worry is charging the base. The ideal solution seems like a roomba (with charging base).

Another commenter referenced a programmable roomba from iRobot - see above. I agree that might be ideal. The RVR might not be stable enough to haul around a tablet sitting atop what amounts to a big lever, but a camera mounted (low) on an RVR could be a lot of fun.
