Groucho Components:

Zagros Robotics REX 14C Round base w/Globe motors (300 in-oz) and encoders; plus three extra decks The base and decks are 14 inches in diameter.
An iBase 890c Pentium M Mini-ITX board with a Pentium M 755 (2.0 GHz), 1 GB RAM, and a 40 GB laptop hard drive. This system runs Gentoo Linux. I got this system from Logic Supply. One thing I like about this board is that it can run from any power from 12V to 19V. haven't tested the limits yet, though.
(16) Devantech SRF08 I2C sonar units.
Devantech compass
Sharp I/R Rangers
Linksys wireless card
