Crazy non-prop idea for a Prop-1

[davisgraveyard]

Take a simple pan and tilt bracket for a pair of servos.  Attach a red laser pen to the top of the servo.  Then write a program using the Prop1 that randomly pans and tilts the laser.  Put the gadget in the middle of a room and plug it in.  Come back in a day and the cats will be lying on the floor panting from exhaustion.

You'd have to figure out the limits of how high you'd want the servo to go and how big of a movement and how often.    But it would be fun to watch the cats be entertained for hours. 

I'd call it Robo-Cat-Sittter.

We've posted multi-servo random movement programs in a couple places -- with that code and the pan-tilt assembly (I bought one from Lynxmotion) you're good to go.
