Parallax to intro Scribbler programmable robot: "

Gather 'round, robot hackers, for Parallax is set to drop a new, fully programmable, intelligent robot with multiple

sensor systems allowing it to interact with objects, people and, of course, pets. The Scribbler robot can self-navigate

and report back about what it senses via light and sound. A BASIC Stamp 2 microcontroller is its reprogrammable brain,

which can be hooked up via serial cable to your PC and imbued with dastardly deeds. If you pre-order before August 23

the price is $89, and it'll retail for $99 after it starts shipping on that date.
