Within the past year, probably 2 or 3 issues ago, one of the electronics 
magazines or hobby electronics magazines had a "How to Build Your Own Robot"
article.  The only detail I remember is that it used a Radio Shack electronic
car for the base.  I believe the parts were under $ 200.00 and I think there
were some optical (IR) or sonar sensors.  Also, the article was only one issue
long.

Can anyone provide the reference ?  Any experience with the project?

Also, I just found an inexpensive remote control hovercraft.  I want to find
out if the motors have sufficient power to use as the robot base.  I doubt it, 
but I pass along the idea.

Please send the reference to me and post it, too.  I believe other would be 
interested.
