Hello Little John.
Oh yes, life is rough. Some days I play with 3DS, some days I build
simulators, sometimes image processing,… I've got so many projects
at the moment I can usually decide at the beginning of the day what I
feel like doing that day. What a hard life.
>>robots: hobby…
I'm not up on the current crop. At work, we are probably going to buy
an educational desk-top model complete with computer and software for
about $8000. There seem to be a lot of different small robots to
choose from, but I don't know were to start looking.
Thousands of people have build various robots from string, sealing
wax, and R/C servos. I've even seen books in the local library. As
to how hard it is to build interface hardware and software, that
depends mostly on how clever you are!

PS: Warning, Will Robinson, Danger. Do not, under any circumstance,
skimp on the 3DS tutorials! Also, don't forget to read the reference
manual – there are many what I call "mini tutorials" scattered within
– I think some of the best stuff is buried there.
