[Robotgroup] HERO rides again...?

[Vern Graner]

Looks like Heathkit is back in the Robot business:

http://www.heathkit.com/herobot.html

I looked at the page, and I really surprised to find that I wasn't very 
impressed. :(

Summary: Its a Mini ITX PC, running Windows XP and Microsoft robotics 
studio. It has a bunch of off the shelf stuff bolted onto it like the 
Linksys USB 802.11 wireless and Logitech USB camera.

Frankly, IMHO its more of a case-mod with wheels than any kind of 
innovative robot. Kinda sad considering it's ancestry...

My $0.02 anyway...
