[pandorabots-general] Alicebot to control device

[Ariyo Nugroho]

Yup, you're very right!

What ALICE does in this scenario is like a 'command parser'. Instead
of defining new syntaxes, then writing down my own parser, it's easier
to use AIML to do this. Like what it is said: AIML is simpler than
regular expression :)

Controlling a model car is exciting, of course. But my concern is time
response. Especially if the car runs fast enough, compared to the time
needed by the system to interpret commands then send it to the car. It
would make the car crash the wall :D May be it would work if i had a
faster CPU.

But thank you for your idea :)
