Wow! Do you mind if I submit a link to your site on the LinuxRobot Wiki?
Do you have a rough estimate of how much this think costs to build? Is your software available for download? My goal is to take a working robot into a homeschool classroom (of about 5 or 6 kids, 7 and 8 years of age) and have them "plan the missions" as you say. I would like them to use E-Toys to script the robot's movements.

I just read an article in Linux Magazine about Linux robots (http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/65 and http://www.linuxrobots.org). The robot is connected to a network via an onboard WLAN card. You SSH into the computer on the robot, execute some C code (which hooks into the robot's libraries called 'librobot'), and botta-boom-botta-bing -- the robot moves.
I SSH to my linux robot (over a bluetooth wireless connection) and execute Squeak code running on a gumstix, which makes the robot move...
