Summer Project "OpenIntelligentRobot" and Help Needed!

I’ve been mulling over an idea all winter. Trying to come up with different projects that could be done using Beagle-board and Arduino. The project is (you hear drum-roll here) “Building An Intelligent Robot”. I know it’s already been done however I have some additional ideas to put in project. All code will be open source. So if you want to build your own you could read up in this site.Oh and I really do need help. Especially financially. So if you are interested please drop me a line. My doodling is as below to give you an idea.
