Beyond the aesthetics of the project, as cybering up a stuffed animal for looks is fairly easy, I have some practical wants. Pretty soon, any of my scope lists turns into “…flamethrowers and chainsaws”. Obviously that doesn’t need to be in the initial phase. When do I call v1 done?
I’m thinking some basic mobility platform, though tethering is fine. Self directed random travel while avoiding hitting things using ir.
Now v2 is where it’ll get better. This will be the Lazy patch. All software will run as services or one off programs. Add Wi-Fi connectivity so I can upload to him. When a new patch comes in, it stops his main services, replaces the old versions, adds new ones, and starts the boot phase over. This will also be where security has too happen. While it doesn’t have itself the destructive quality if IoT items, anything connected to the network needs to be locked down. I strongly believe that IoT is a prank, quite possibly destructive, waiting to happen.
The Hal patch is where it’ll hide from people and be self charging. Cut its strings.
