Marvin the Paranoid Tutebot...

Marvin was Ann's and my final project for EECS 43, Introductory Electronics Laboratory, during the Fall 1998 semester at Berkeley's EECS department. These pictures are about 20K; you can click on them to get really mind-bogglingly huge, pretty versions (suitable for printing out on your nearest expensive color printer) at 10 times the waste of bandwidth.

<lila> geordan> "Reverse gear, Marvin," that's what they tell me. "Don't hit the wall, Marvin. Marvin, can you move forward?" Can I move forward! Here I am, brain the size of a 6502, and they ask me...
<brg> *LOL*
