Hey, LMR.
This is a robot I made with arduino. It has a bumper switch on the front and when that bumper switch is pushed down a face on screen changes. It works by sending serial data to processing. For some reason there is a little bit of lag between the time the mouth changes and the time the button is pressed, but it isn't a big deal. Hopefully I will be able to make it wireless with bluetooth soon. Thanks to everybody who helped me with my various problems I posted (especially telefox and captainobvious). Oh yeah, sorry for the terrible un-edited video. It is un-edited because I got a new camera that records in HD, and I can't find any editing programs for windows that can handle the HD footage.
