R2D2 powered by Android

So I'm in the process of design a full size autonomous R2D2. I have found a hardware platform that will be more than sufficient for the needs of this droid. So this will actually be a droid powered by Android!! I'm really looking forward to it. I still haven't decided on building materials by the R2 Builders Group on yahoo has all the blueprints I could possibly need. I'm going to use a pandaboard as the brains of the droid. Pandaboard is a board similar to the beagleboard, but this one is using the OMAP4 chip which means dual-core ARM processor. Totally awesome. Should be able to get some fairly complex code running on this as well as run the basic motors and controls. I'm going to emulate the hardware set up first and develop the code probably using a hybrid of neural network code and scripting. I'll post more on the Pandaboard next post.
