Beelzabuggy!

The Beelzabuggy was my first Web robot back in 1999. I’m not sure it’s relevant here. But you never forget your first.

It has a camera and microphone and was controlled by a Web server. So visitors to the site could drive it around and explore Nervebox Studio from a cat’s-eye view.

It was my first project with Java, threads, sockets, serial ports, and microcontroller programming. And it handed me my own butt every day until it was finally done.

I eventually retired the little guy because of short battery life, privacy concerns, and just getting caught up in other projects. I might be willing to give him somebody who wanted to give him some geeky lovin’ and let him run free again.
