| Actually, using a GBA to control robots is a very good idea. It is inexpensive, widely available, and easy to interface. Using bluetooth for speakers, OTOH, sounds like a dumb idea. Speakers require a non-trivial amount of power to operate, so there will need to be a cable that removes the portability advantage of bluetooth or batteries that need to be changed at great expense or recharged at great annoyance. Even if your scenario is fixed speakers used with a portable computer, avoiding plugging in a cable or two does not seem to justify the cost of the extra circuitry. Conclusion : Bluetooth speakers are the crazy idea, not controlling robots with a GBA. I'm reminded of John Dvoark's PC Magazine column(Vol. 17 No. 16 Sep 22, 1998 page 87) where he uses a monitor that keeps snacks warm as a hypothetical example of the tech press going crazy over an insane idea. |

| however, wouldn't you have to program the thing, otherwise, this robot would continually run in a straight line without doing anything special anyways, interesting thought...reminds me of the robot I built for a class that had obstacle avoidance... |

| i can't even begin to understand how one of those would work...i look at a robot and see...a robot and then i look at a GBA controller and see...a GBA controller...nothing more... maybe i'm just narrow-minded  |

| Maybe you draw a circle on the GBA, and it goes in a circle. Kind of like a remote controlled car, but without the being controlled remotely. It would be kind of hard though, because wouldn't you have to walk with it to control it? | |||

| yeah you would...and how you would impliment touch screen technology into a GBA controller? i think things are a lot simpler my way...GBA controller = GBA controller...nothing else! |

| Unless they give you some kind of expansion pack that goes into your game slot and comes around the front in front of the monitor on your GBA. It could work. You'ld think that it would be horribly expensive, though. | |||

| The robot builder writes a program that defines how the robot is supposed to behave on his pc. He then compiles the program and sends it to the custom GBA cart. The GBA runs the program to control the robot. | |||

| then the robot doesn't take direct input as a means of controlling it by a user of some sort...it just kinda behaves based on the algorithms that the programmer put into its program? |
