Very nice work, Jon !
There seems to be a lot of activities with Squeak and robots now :
- SqueakBot, a project which I carry out with the french association 
Planet Science  : http://www.iutc3.unicaen.fr/serge/wiki.php/SqueakBot
- the QUTe robot simulator : http://sky.fit.qut.edu.au/~sitte/
- DEFART, a visual programming system for AIBO : http://www.itolab.com/en/
- we are also starting some experiments, Noury and i, with the WifiBot 
platform. We have also developed a Roomba vacuum cleaner simulator :

I think we should work together, in order to share some basic 
components. With Noury, we are mainly interested by adaptive component 
models for robotic platforms.

Is your code available freely available ? I see "URBI" in you 
screenshots, do you use the URBI interface (http://www.urbiforge.com/) ?

Cheers,
