I have never played with MS Robotics but would like to know if some one has/had any experience with it. Since its free to download, for now, I might give it a try.

I didn't know about that, but it looks really interesting. Too bad all of the compatible robots are really expensive.

I would search for alternatives, I am sure they are out there.

There are a bunch of options, from about $270 for the Lego Mindstorms NXT to $5000+ industrial strength robots. That just exceeds my expendable funds budget right now.

ROS Software Project

This was a quick search so it may be useless

I took a robotics course and our prof bought a few robot kits for projects....I guess in a long time if not the first time, project didn't feel like a project, we'd blast playing with the robot. I need to find out the source...
