Walking Robot Update

Today, during the rebuilding of a windows xp machine, I came up with an idea of what exactly my latest creation will consist of electronically. It will be a pulse-delay circuit, in traditional BEAM style, that controls the walking. With a reverser and feelers. Plus it will have a microprocessor, most likely something of the 16f84 variety, which will take input from a new rgb light sensor that I have thought of and then influence the pulse-delay circuit. It will also have a microphone connected to it, so it can "run-away" from loud noises in an attempt to save its life. Wow, it's really late ... or early, I'm going to sleep now, I might post some prelim drawings later to give you a better idea of what I'm talking about.
