The robot is great but the article confusing: So is robot a product for sale (like for education) or "just" a nice toy to attract attention to something else the author sells?

Hello r3m6,

Would you be interested in buying one?

This robot will be on sale soon. I developed it for an Intel programming challenge and won an award. Have been showing it on trade fair shows for the last few weeks to get feedback.

I integrated most of my software from previous research work about localization and mapping and computer vision.

Are you a robotic enthusiast?

It'd be nice to see some detailed photos of the rover. I assume the laptop is part of the rover, but it would be great to see beneath the laptop.

Hey JazCE,

Thanks for your note! For a few pics check out my other video about the rover. At 1:29 you see some close-up pictures under the laptop. http://youtu.be/IQVQTn1E3lY

I intend to provide building instructions, soon.

Are you a robotic enthusiast?

Would you be interested in a software stack for localization, mapping and image processing?

Ahh awesome. I'm more a lego/technic enthusiast, but don't quite have the space for lego anymore, so I just enjoy reading the lego blogs and seeing other peoples creations.
