Well, I decided that I needed to get back into the groove and go ahead and order some more parts for the robot. I ended up getting an iRobot Create to be controlled from the Chumby. The cost counting shipping was $350, but I ended up with the create, a microprocessor controller, two infrared walls, a docking station (that the create can find on its own), a rechargeable battery/charger, 4th wheel, USB cable, some light sensors and an interface board. I'm looking forward to the package arriving later in the week. The create has a lot going for it and it merges quite nicely with ROS and other packages that are out there. Now need to hurry up and get a programming environment setup on the Chumby.
