It certainly hasn't felt like a year and a half since my last post... I was shocked to see "November 2012" at the top of my other posts.
So I went to Goodwill today (thrift store) and managed to pick up a Wowwee Roboquad for $8... a steal when Amazon lists it as $180 new, and >$40 used. What a steal!
There were two there, and I was so glad to see the other one being picked up by this little girl who seemed like the happiest person in the world after finding it :)
Anyway, as I let it walk around my room as I worked on my computer and it ended up exploring the whole room; you could see its footprint trails in the carpet. It was really fun to watch.
I'm going to at some point open it up and attempt to interface my Arduino with it, while being as non-destructive to the original functionality and cosmetics as possible. That is to say I can't cut any wires without soldering them back later for example.
I figure I'll keep a record on this blog if I do end up doing anything!
