-Although it's not really a kit, my friend Andrew Mitchell, VA3WAM, and I have been working on small robots for years. The original project was a ball-bot, which is a cylindrical robot that balances on a ball like a bowling ball, and uses wheels that touch the ball to balance and move. We soon saw that this project was quite challenging, and we backed off to a segway like bot that looks like a cereal box with wheels on the bottom of the small sides.  We've been saying that we're just about at the point where it can balance itself for about a year and a half.

   * build and use a battery pack to remove the need for a 12 volt umbilical cord
   * design and implement a battery charging system that doesn't require dismantling the bot
