So I'm wondering who's planning on getting Sony's new PSP March 24th. I've had mine reserved for about a month, I don't think you can even reservethe firts batch anymore. Anyway, there's probably a good chance that people will be able to write their own programs for it; you can see some of the reverse-engineering work already going on at
www.ps2dev.org . We've jokingly suggested that we will use the PSP to drive our robot next year. It could probably be modded if you stripped the internals and added a wire to plug into the OI. But, what would be the absolute coolest thing ever, is if you could somehow build a box to use the 802.11b signal from the PSP to drive the bot, and were somehow able to wirelessly transmit the rs-232 signal from the dashboard. Then, if enough has been found on the PSP, or you can get hold of a devkit, be able to interpret the info from the dashboard port into a dashboard type program written for the PSP. That would be so much work, and most likely impossible w/o the assistance of Sony, but who else thinks that would be about the sweetest thing ever used to drive a bot?
