The Gepetto Robot has been created by builder Che Edoga (aka "darkback2″) and is a wood and metal robot that can fire paintballs (via remote control) and make life miserable for its enemies. This evil AI mobile robotic platform features a built-in video camera and screen for interacting with people; taunting the unsuspecting victim remotely in paintball mode. Gepetto carries a laptop on its back, and can maneuver itself across due to its independent wheel mechanism that can travel as much as three inches in height. Its can navigate flat surfaces and carpets but climbing slopes, or hills is not on the agenda.

Darkback2 plans on continuing to upgrade Gepetto Robot's navigation, intelligence, vision and other systems in the coming months. Keep updated on his progress over on the Trossen Robotics forums. Apparently Gepetto was a runner up in Trossen's latest robot contest.
