[[User:Azureviolin|Hao]] is working on an opensource robot project [http://www.dorabot.com DORA Project], and have already mount a robotic arm on Noise-Bot/McHawking, and he refers to it as "DoraBot".

A robot arm made of mostly aluminum and animated by air-cylinders was fitted to the robot, but few electronic valves and no air compressor or tank have been acquired.  Someone will have to invest time and energy to get the arm to do more than make the thing look more menacing.  As of 11/15/2010 the arm was removed to make the robot more wieldy/less unwieldy.

Several electrically-operated linear actuators were acquired and would make great "muscles" for a large robot arm made from scratch.  The air-powered arm is not a good match though, so a new arm should be made with those linear actuators causing magnified movement at joints such as elbows and a shoulder.

As of April 2011 the software has been moved around and a lot of projects are in the works.  Contact Lilia Kai at gmail or Jake at spaz if you want to get involved in reading or writing programming for the robot.
