There are several designs based on PDA that bring the size down considerably but they are limited in the I/O channels that a serial/parallel/usb laptop can provide.

Very cool indeed!! Alot cheaper than commercial telepresence rovers thats for sure! I recon the laptop makes for a bug unit but a more intelligent one. My tele-rover cant think for sh1t compared to this one. kudos

well this is pretty simple project and cool also should have used some kind of tablet pc or low cost laptops that are really small but that would raise the cost of the project but make the rover much smaller.
