The suggestion for a "rodent robot" brings to mind s pair of articles in 
the magazine _INK_, edited, I believe by Steve Ciarcia of Circuit Cellar
fame (or his brother, I don't remember which).  Anyway, these two articles in
the 1990 (year) volume describe how to build "MityMouse II", a rodent robot.
I've taken these magazines home, so I don't have the exact citations.

BTW, there are numerous other approaches to robot behavior.  We here at ORNL hjave produced two autonomous robots which are capable of doing a variety of
"intelligent" things -- see my article in _IEEE_Expert_, Winter, 1989.

MIND.  A mysterious form of matter secreted by the brain.  Its chief activity
consists in the endeavor to asscertain its own nature, the futility of the
attempt being due to the fact that it has nothing but itself to know itself
with.   -- Ambrose Bierce
