It is called a "Stamp" simply because it is close to the size of an average postage stamp. Since the Basic stamp is programmable using a computer the actual program sequence is up to the designer. In the example linked to this page WACCO III is programmed to: 1. Navigate through a maze or obstacle course for 2 min. 2. Pause 2 sec. 3. Play a random tune (1 of 4). 4. Pause 2 sec. 5. Spin in tight circle for 3 sec. 6. Pause 2 min. 7. Repeat from #1. Web Site: http://gw.pct.edu/homepage/staff/rstull/robots/wacco3.htm Email: bstull@csrlink.net
