Chatting with GroG today it occurred to me that the MRL collective should inventory their various bots and parts so that we can all search for someone that can tell us about their experience with something they have just in case we get or want to get one of our own.  So I'll kick things off with an off the top of my head list and I encourage others to do the same. (That way you won't have to remind GroG that you have a working Roomba againwink )

Roomba Discovery http://www.irobot.com/images/homesupport/Manuals/00179.0210.ALLRoomba40… Works as intended
Pololu 3pi I have the robot and a protoboard to fit on top. I haven't done much with it other than play with the preinstalled demo functions.

Works as intended

Pololu Zumo Kit I have 2 of these kits unassembled and a couple sets of gear motors for them. (75:1, two sets 50:1, 30:1) Unassembled
Insectronic 6 leg, tripod gate walking robot that would fit in a shoebox. Based on PIC 16F84 microcontroller. Can be autonomous or RC controlled. Has a pair of IR reflectance eyes. Built and has calibration code installed. might need some solder joints repaired and better calibration of the IR board.
Makerbot Minion Small Biped robot based off DJUltis's arduped. Users 4 9g servos and an Arduino Pro Micro for it's brain. I'm still sorting out power supplies. 90% complete
ROFI Another 3D printed biped that uses 12 standard servos I bought the servos but I'm still getting started with the prints

Working

Udoo Quad Quad Core Arm SBC Working but on loan for a special UAV project.
PIC Microcontrollers I have a whole bunch of Microhip PIC micro controllers that I got as samples over the years. Things from 16 pin to 40 pin versions and even some eeprom chips to expand them. Lots that have never been used.
Standard Servos MG996R for ROFI and InMoov. A few other spares. Most are earmarked for InMoov or ROFI
9g servos I have 4 spare HTX-900 that might go into another Minion/Arduped. I have one spare Corona DS929HV for InMoov's eyes. Working spares
