Remote Control Roomba

Today we got the pyRoomba python code working on Scott's laptop. We also obtained a bluetooth radio for our roomba so that it can be controlled remotely through python scripts or the command prompt.

Our next objective is to capture some images and/or video of the roomba in action. We are also trying to think of an alternate name for our roomba, to distinguish it from other roombas...

We will also start working on the next step towards Hamsterbot: writing Python code to capture wireless optical mouse data and convert it into pyRoomba commands.
