"Drives around randomly, dices if he hits an obstacle, emits strange sounds

Cost to build: $50

Time to build: 20 hours

Weight: 280 grams

• Actuators / output devices: beeper,
  7 LEDs, 2 continues rotating servos
• Control method: autonomous
• CPU: picaxe 08M
• Power source: 700 mA, 4.8 V NiCd
• Programming language: Picaxe basic
• Sensors / input devices: tactile sensor"

 Picaxe is Arduino's very basic competitor, good if you want a cheap micro-controller & don't mind programming in Picaxe BASIC.  The 5 LEDs on top are the electronic die, triggered to "throw" by either (or both?) of the 2 bumpers you can see on the front..
I think i've got an old 9v-battery-powered electronic die @home somewhere.. i should look it out & see if it still works..
