10 things to "beam" with your Palm

The days when we have a robot butler may be still far away. But with various robot construction kits on the market, we can still build our own mechanical bots, granted that they won't be like Robin William's character in Bicentennial Man.

One of the coolest robot construction kits out there has to be the LEGO MINDSTORMS range of robotics developer kits. With it, it's really fun and easy for both kids and adults to build their own robots.

When you have a Palm, you can control your LEGO MINDSTORMS' mechanical creation with Robotic Mover. Using the IR feature on your Palm, you can issue commands to your robot using either the onscreen buttons or hardware keys.

Today, you control a robot toy. Tomorrow, who knows? Maybe you can control a life-size Gundam-like robot, all with your Palm!
