I haven’t seen the movie yet but I hear it is good. This Batcycle is a high tech model of the motorcycle from the movie. "To celebrate the release of Batman’s latest film, “The Dark Knight”, the NXT BatCycle was created! Armed and dangerous, the BatCycle can handle any opponents it may encounter with its’ hidden rocket launcher that expands from the body of the bike. With its’ large
RoboTurk is a great example of technology being used to help save lives. It uses Microsoft technology at the core to perform some very complex tasks. "RobotTurk is a prototype Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) equipped with a camera that is capable of streaming live video of disaster struck areas to ground command stations. The helicopter carries onboard an eBox compute-unit that runs Microsoft Robotics Studio, allowing the robot to
Electric bikes are all the rage recently. But why would you simply buy one when you can make your own? That is what Stryker did when he wanted to get rid of some of hid fuel costs. Have a look at the fully documented process here. "I only work 3 miles from home but with gas prices getting out of control, I thought it would be great to have
For light use the Eee PC by Asus looks like a nice small low power computer but it is lacking some of the built in items that you may want. Have no fear this Asus Eee PC Hack shows you that it is totally upgradeable with a little skill and time. "There are several points on the motherboard where power can be draw, for devices requiring 3.3v or 5v.
With this circuit those videos of people pulling the correct ropes to ring the right bells in sequence may be over. The Church Bell Automation (zip project file) system allows for lots of customization, I just have to figure out where I am going to install 5 or 6 bells in my garage. 🙂 "This circuit is a church bell controller. Basic component is an ATmega32 microcontroller. At the
I have never used any of the Acroname microcontroller, but after seeing this Robot Fetching demonstration I am impressed by its power (and the skill of mw0868). "This robot uses an Acroname CMUcam2+ for its eye and an Acroname BrainStem GP 2.0 microcontroller for its brain. It chases down a bright pink ball (which I made with a styrofoam ball and neon pink acrylic paint), grabs it with its
This robot has lots of cool technology such as bluetooth, pan tilt camera, Parallax microcontroller and the list goes on. This would make for a great robotic platform for making many cool projects.
