Re: PSP Driven Robot

I can't really find any rule violations, but it really seems like a needless effort. You can't recieve feedback onto the screen, you are not permitted to have more than 4 commands that the robot performs, so the screen is sort of useless, and it seems way to expensive when you can use a $5 remote control. The risk of dropping or it getting stolen seems way to large to justify simply having a "cool" control system.

I would completely avoid the idea.
