Journal Double Mint Len's Journal: Robosapien?

So get this.
I was in Best Buy picking up my Pioneer plasma tv, (which is wonderful, by the way) and I came across a pretty cool toy. It is called Robosapien. For a low price of $199.99, you can get this : Robosapien V2 is a highly evolved robotic fusion of technology and personality, combining fluid biomechanical motion with a multisensory, interactive humanoid personality.
I mean, its actually pretty usable. But, I had this thought. Could you afix a small computer chip, in the place that the antenna picked up the signal from the control pad, and instead of controlling it via joystick, control it via wireless output from your computer. And, I figure, as an added bonus, you could prolly write series of scripts making it do what you wanted, responding on voice activation.
I think, my first mod would be the "Beer Wench Robosapien." Complete with sweedish bar-gril attire and matching bonnet, and since it has a speaker, authentic german/sweedish accent. And the programs would respond to things like "Wench, Beer!", "Gimma Beer, you damn Robit" etc.
If anyone has any programming expierance and wants to collaborate on a unique adventure, let me know.
