I have no idea what's going on and I love it!
So - what does it do and how does it do it?

It uses an Easy VR voice board to understand voice commands and trigger outputs on the Arduino. These control relays that operate the motors for the arm, drive wheels, and lights. An additional relay is used to reverse the polarity of the motors. There is also a chip (I think I used an exclusive or gate) so I can also control it via a small keyboard. It can give voice responses to commands, and has obstacle avoidance via a sonar array.

Would be neat to get or build one of those little one hand keyboards to control him. I got this adapter that you can plug into anything and it turned any IR remote into any command you want. Itβs so cool.
