Voice Controlled iRobot Create

Voice Controlled iRobot Create

I recently received an android Accessory Development Kit (ADK) and, coincidentally, also just received my iRobot create.  So, I decided to put the two together to get a voice-controlled robot using the Android APIs as an easy way to perform the speech to text function.  The result is fun to play with, and a great introduction to the ADK and the iRobot Open Interface!
