I’m not sure I want my stool following me around and recording conversations.

… Or playing them back to other visitors.

yeah, the recording thing is creepy (and I have better uses for hardware as costly as an ibook…) but the driving rocks.
look at the “Gotthard fährt (drives)”-video, it seems that if you come near it from one side, it will drive away, from the other side it will drive to you (knocks knees away to force seating :) and coming from the other sides it drives in a curve…
and the way in which the wheels sink into the box when a person seats itself on the stool is also nice.

those things connected to the drill trigger look like model rocket engines / firecrackers…

lol, this reminds me of a story i’ve heard about a senior design project at my school. some students built something just like this for their professor to follow him and help carry books, but the professor kept on giving them a hard time with the project. so, they programmed into the code to reduce the following distance by a little each time the device was turned on. eventually, it kept on hitting the back of the professor’s legs, but by then the students already graduated :P

Got ‘Tard?
I imagine walking into a house and having this thing approach me and playing a recording that says, “Oh jeez, will this thing stop following me with that damn tape recorder already?!”
