How did you make the blue blinking eyes?

Looks really good. Myself is building a robot snake, and i would love to implement this kind og "eyes" Hope you have time to answer. Love your work.

Thanks! Sorry for the delayed response. Each eye is 12 leds, controlled in sequence to make the "blink". I put surgical tubing in front of the LEDs to diffuse the light. The lights are controlled by the same PIC processor that reads all the sensors. In the future, I plan to replace the PIC with Arduino.

Rather interesting, but that he says his favorite movie is Star Wars mean's he does not have his own opinions, would be very cool if you could allow it to learn to like new things, based on some pre-determined factors and in addition to anything new it likes, such as liking a colour, and then to learn to like all objects associated with that colour.

I plan to add RSS feed monitoring, so Loki can start to build up his own "opinions" on things going on in the world. But, need to get the basics done first.
