New in the Maker Shed: Stingray robot

Just imagine digging into a juicy-looking robot build and emerging at the other end with a big daddy like this! The Stingray robot provides a mid-size platform for a wide range of robotics projects and experiments. The Propeller Robot Control Board is the brains of the system providing a multiprocessor control system capable of performing multiple tasks at the same time. The Propeller chip provides eight 32- bit processors each with two counters, its own 2 KB local memory and 32 KB shared memory. This makes the Propeller a perfect choice for advanced robotics and the Stingray robot. This bot is big, and very powerful!
