Action 13Yes yes YES! Perfect. You may not be able to give it eyes, but you can give it feelers. Using some of the scrap you have left over from the frame, and some wires, and some solder, and a bit of circuitry... hell, you could even add a couple without much work...

And you might not have much of a brain thing, but you could hardcode in some basic collision response, like stopping, easily enough... and, wait, oh, yes. You could always hook it up to your laptop, and let your laptop do the thinking... then programming a mapping and Nav program could well be trivial...
