Finally a robot that can do all the mundane chores that I hate to do. 🙂 So what if it looks like it may kill you when you sleep, just think of all the laundry it will do for you.

This Gun Robot project can monitor the entrance to your fortress and ward away any enemy attacks! The servo action seems nice and smooth, next step would be to make it IP based so that you could have the unit at work and control it from home. 🙂 "The bot is totally controlled by an external joysitck or joypad. The app uses DirectX DirectInput to get the data from

Matiah Shaman has full instructions for his Fire Glove on his youtube page. "It took me a while to figure out how to build this. I took apart many things that you should not ever
We know that you can make a cool clock scope, but have you ever seen a video game played on a scope? Well have a look at Scopetris! It seems that one scope manufacturer actually put the game in the firmware of the scope. "The two resistor ladders, interfacing ports on the AtMega32, were connected to an oscilloscope in X/Y mode. The position of the beam was thus
Matt Mets is on a quest to make lots of cool hacks day after day! This Arduino based Drum Loop Machine is simple but nice and clever. Using a bunch of scavenged parts (the best kind) and an Arduino microcontroller he has made a drum recording device that will play back the same sequence that was recorded into it. He provides will source code and a schematic of the project.
What a great idea to get some cool aerial pictures on a small budget. The uncontrolled flight aspect of the balloon adds to the excitement since no one knows exactly where the rig is going to go. With aerial RC plane videos everything is under control and there is little left to chance. As shown with this Berlin Balloon Project Launch the rig could not be located and it
