Nice robot! I am building

Nice robot! I am building something somewhat similar and I intend to use a Megabitty board. Have you (or anyone else) managed to program it in Arduino?

Where can we read more about all the robots we see here?

Thanks!

Ro-Bot-X, I know Anton Olsen

Ro-Bot-X,

I know Anton Olsen is working on a Megabitty sized Arduino board. He tweeted about it recently. I've never heard about someone putting the Arduino firmware onto a Megabitty board, but I don't see why it couldn't be done. Interesting thought. Here's a Atmega 8 (which the Megabitty runs) arduino bootloader. You could try that. If it works, be sure and leave a comment about it on the Megabitty part page.

Also, you can use the contact form on the user's profile page if you want to try and contact them directly. It's the little envelop icon below their profile picture.

I love the custom machined body! Wish I could get my hands on one!

While I don't think it's the same, his chassis looks pretty similar to Pololu's tracked chassis. Have you seen that?
