- On today’s show, Jim is joined by John Kennedy, a retro computer and IoT enthusiast who has a fascination for classic robot toys from the 80s. He’s finally got his hands on the toy he wanted from his youth, but instead of being content there, he’s given it a brain!

So neat!
Omnibot 2000, “We left and we won.”
Someone needs to mass produce these updated Omnibots and Omnibot 2000's. I'd buy one for say $1k.
Finally have what I need to finally update the omnibot!
Hardware is EASY! Its all mechanics, its actually real so I can understand it. Software on the other hand is like trying to grab smoke.
BTW I've got a Robie Sr. I'd love Love LOVE to upgrade any tips would be wonderful
Trying to buy one now! I always wanted one and so I figure I'll try to buy one that's broken and missing parts so it'll force me into a project like this! With Amazon releasing Astro, I'm curious if we will see more variety in home robots.
Microsoft should also support all rpi boards
Which boards in particular do you feel are not supported, and what support are you after?
You can run Windows on a Raspberry Pi (if you really want to). And Visual Studio Code is a brilliant tool for developing on them. What other features would you like to see supported?
Is this code open source? Would love to reproduce this project with my Omnibot :)
