Here is some interesting information from "Ed in Long Beach".
This is an inventory of all of his robotic related items. It's amazing when you pull it all together to see how many timer and remote controlled things we typically are interacting with these days. Maybe we can get a road test of that Roomba remote vacuum cleaner from Ed - interesting!
Now imagine what happens when these devices start interacting with each other....
