Cellbots

Myles found this new site, cellbots.com, about some hardware hackers using cell phones as controllers for their robots. The interface to the electronics is done with the Arduino board which I mentioned here previously. While their work is definitely interesting, I'd like to point out two things.

First, I don't consider a cell phone inexpensive when you want features like WiFi and Bluetooth. Second, these hackers are not exactly average hobbyists. I mean, how many of us just happen to have laser cutting equipment sitting around? ^^
