The Original thread is here:http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=86369
I recorded several videos of Parade Bot at a demo we did in October.

In the first video we are just playing around with it.

In the next 3 videos we decided to try something that were not quite sure anyone else has done. We hooked up a robot battery to a power inverter. We placed it in a laptop backpack and placed a laptop, router and our spare joystick in the backpack and hooked everything up. We then took our other joystick and walked around with parade bot for about 45 minutes while controlling it with for lack of a better description a backpack control system.

Anyway here are the other 3 videos in order:
