I am fascinated by robots. Not just over-the-top RC Cars, but "real" robots that control themselves. The chips that I use are usually some form of the Stamp microcontroller. You can now get a Java Stamp controller, I would LOVE to see a Perl Stamp. I have been using Perl for a few years, but have never gotten into the guts of the compiler to even know if such a wild idea is possible.

Nonetheless, it'd be cool.
