Engadget hipped me to this robot kit that turns your Nintendo DS into the brains of a three-wheeled robotic platform. The kit costs US$100 and comes with three servos, the platform, wheels, battery, cable, and all hardware. You do need the DSerial2 board to connect the servos to your DS. With your RoboDS, you can do things like hook up a webcam so that people can drive it over the Web. The prototype of the bot has been set up this way. You can drive around the builder’s basement, watch other people drive, and chat with other would-be builders. Kits will allegedly be available on April 7th.
