FreeScale Bot (Followup)

Finally found the info on the FSLBOT (FreeScale Bot) I mentioned in my March 10th Stuff from Robotics Summit post (although it was called Freebot not FSLBOT in that post).

For full info goto http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=FSLBOT

But here is the summary:

Freescale’s Robot Kit that operates with the Tower System Mechatronics Board is an easy-to-use mechatronics development and demonstration platform. This toolset allows for the science of combining mechanics, electronics, and software into an integrated system. The kit includes four PWM controlled servos (actuators), metal legs, and the Tower System Mechatronics board that has a 3-axis accelerometer and a 12 channel touch sensor. Through building the kit, you can experience what the 4 degree of freedom bipedal walking robot can do.

The Tower System Mechatronics board is programmable in C/C++ using CodeWarrior and an on-board OSBDM flash programming tool. For fast prototyping or for individuals without C/C++ experience, the Tower System Mechatronics Board is supported by the Robot Vision Toolkit and RobotSee (a language as simple as BASIC with the power of C).

This tool will be available in May 2011

Cost is $199 but does not include the TWR-MECH board ($99).
