Hi All,

I have created a robot with a tmobile g1 and an arduino.  I need help with the second phase of the robot and creating a better chasis for the wheels and holder for the cell phone.  Anyone interested in helping me with that?

 A little bit about the robot:

1.  Uses tmobile g1 with a special kernel that allows the undocumented serial port to be utilized using the android operating system
2.  An arduino, which is 100% opensource hardware
3.  Two motors that are only $3.50 cents each!  (Uses wifi from the internet to control the motors through the phone's serial port)
4.  Bambuser for realtime video streaming from the phone

I think it may be the cheapest remote telepresence robot in existence.  Here is my first prototype:

Here is the video of my proof of concept robot realized!

Let me know what you think!

Here is the view from the cell phone using bambuser:

Very cool! You may want to bring this to the Arduino meetup on
Saturday to show off, and then ask around to find someone interested
in collaborating.
