#3I already got to play with it, its super fun and works just like you want it to. It's versatile enough to go over cracks and stuff in doorways and the video streaming is very smooth. This is an awesome project to back.

#4Give me a robot that lets me fight other robots. And can I control this from my iPad rather than a second iPhone?

Ordered one.
This + Siri opens up some pretty neat possibilities.

#7This type of thing could actually spark a robotics revolution. One of the large barrier to entry to robotics is that it is generally built on costly specialty hardware running costly specialty software.
Some people have used laptops as 'brains' for robots but they are bulky and often still quite costly.
Because of their size, long battery life, gps support, camera, touchscreen, microphone, accelerometer and potential lower price, smartphones are surprisingly well suited as commodity platform for robotics.

#8Maybe this is the revolution we need to give a chance to the next generation to have fun programmable robot. I was promised that as a kid and I still don't have it!
