Long lost sibling of my thesis robot, Nana.

My thesis project at MFADT was a none player game that explores the cybernetic relationship between a game controller named Nana and her mother console. MOVIT 2 9505 MSX Wizard reminds me a lot of how I built Nana and her predecessors, especially the cartridge and the triangle rubber tracks.
When building Nana, besides the microcontroller inside of the XBOX 360 controller, I added an extra BASIC STAMP to manage the motor unit. The two microcontrollers communicate with each other through a simple protocol I created by controlling the vibrator voltage in realtime. This was before Arduino came out.
The profile of a BASIC STAMP is exactly the same as the EPROM chip on an ATARI 2600 cartridge PCB, so I built a detachable cartridge system for my project instead of using a socket. I also made a station for programming as well. It worked out perfectly for my workflow.
