Personal Robots From Valley Startup

Tjeerd writes ""A Silicon Valley start-up is developing a hardware and software development platform for personal-assistant robots, autonomous boats and unmanned cars. The privately funded company, quietly started almost a year ago by eGroups founder and veteran Google architect Scott Hassan, plans to make its robotics software open source. That way, it hopes to draw a community of developers to build applications in these respective fields.""

At first, I thought the title was "Personal Robots Form Valley Startup".

Now that would have been an interesting story...

COST?

Its more an issue of how LONG you'll be paying than how much.
And the payment plan is, well, forever...

Yeah that'll be in version 1.1 - the unfortunate bug in .9 meant that the cats were fed to the dogs, the gutters were cleaned with the laundry, and the cat litter was emptied into the dishwasher.

I for one... no don't go there.
