What type of robots have you developed?  I haven't built anything myself,
but I am interested in it and hope to build next term.  I am currently
working for a company that specializes in autonomous robotics and artificial
intelligence.  I'd be interested to hear what kind of projects you have
done.

Have you used prebuilt microprocessor/controller circuits or do you make
your own circuit?  i.e. do you buy a single board computer or do you make
them?
