Apple II Robot

Posted in

My two greatest interests are Robotics and Apple computers. So a natural conclusion would be, using an Apple computer in a mobile robot.

Most of the products I will be developing will be to aid me in this venture.

When researching this project, I came across the WozBot. A lot of good info, and ideas that I have used to start my own project. I decided to use an Apple IIgs for my base. Hence the creation of LittlePower to provide my robot with mobile power.
