Mark demonstrates his sub-$500 robotics platform

With the abundance of commodity computing hardware combined with the
wealth of free and open software, you can build a mobile robotic
platform for about $500. All it takes is some left over computer
equipment, a child's rinde-around toy, a PS/2 ball mouse, an I/O board,
ATX DC power supply, and some ingenuity!
