When starting a project it is often easier and cheaper to start with an existing product. In this case a Radio Shack HexBug toy was the base. Some new electronics allows this robot to learn some new tricks. "The Hexbug sold by Radio Shack is a tiny robotic insect with very simple reflexive “reverse-turn upon obstacle” response.

If you have a bunch of LEDs kicking around looking for a project to jump into have a look at this LED Chandelier! With 160 white LEDs and some time you could have a light that you can’t purchase anywhere. "List of parts. 1. Extra bright white LED’s =160 pieces 2. Motorcycle Wheel SPOKES = 4 pieces 3. Perforated Hard board of required size = 1 piece 4. Stepdown
