I have some very ambitious goals with this bot. Some emotions or actions I will be trying to produce in the programs; Frightened, greeting, angry, cheering, Peek-a-boo, eating, yawning, stretching, laughing, sneezing, in pain, woops, burp, watch out…..etc, etc.
I also hope to be able to make the bot react to stimulus it encounters. For example, loud noises, bright lights, people approaching, etc.
One thing I learned early in this project is that I absolutely need to take good notes. In that process I noticed that my port list got long….VERY long. I thought I would share it with you.

Where do you get you NXT's? Do you get them at discounted prices? Or are they normal prices? Just curious.

The first two were bought the hard way. #1 was bought when they first came out. #2 was bought a little later when funds replenished. #3 and #4 were bought later at the same time and I did find them at a discounted price, I think about $200 each. I think at bricklink or something, but I don't remember. I did LOTS of shopping around. It wasn't one big purchase, I bought them over about two years time.
