Awesome man. Are you gonna make him autonomously controlled?

Eventually, I will play with code and let him roam freely. For now I am having fun with the remote control on the gamepad.

Can I use a ps3 controller for this kind of thing?

I believe you can - I just got a $10 generic off ebay with dual joysticks on it - usb. It works great so far.

Oh ok so your using a ps3 type Bluetooth controller , that's great.

@ jstarne1,

I think I saw a post on this a while ago...the thread discussed hooking up a PS3 controller wired with 3rd party drivers. Just found a thread describing how to do it BT as well..... Looked pretty cumbersome....I actually think buying a wireless one off ebay might be easier Let me know if you find an easy PS3 controller solution......but $10 is not too bad to have a dedicated ROBOT wireless controller.

Wireless would definitely have been nice, but money talks. The USB connection to the laptop isn't bad. I had a lot of fun playing with him last night -

Easy way to get Bob to talk is add a wireless bluetooth speaker to him. Then any PC sound comes out of BOB. If you turn off the wireless speaker then sound comes from your regular speakers again. Would work for B9 also. I just paid for a 24 inch B9 from ebay. Hope to get it soon and start modding him. I have 2 old RAD robots, but I may use something else to drive him. I need to finish my humanoid first.
