The guys over at the Harford Hackerspace made this great Telepresence Zen Garden using a Bullduino. The machine is very creative but the video of the project is equally as creative! The project was made with the help of laser cut parts, 3D printed parts and a bunch of common off the shelf parts. This is a great example of a build that would have been very difficult to
If your first remote control car was like mine it has a single button on it. The car would drive straight forward and reverse and turn when the button was pressed. It was a simple and effective design. This Dynamo Robot uses a similar method of steering. Best of all no batteries are needed! The power to drive the toy forward and in reverse comes from a hacked servo
Check out this 80 Talking Teddy Ruxpin Doll Exhibit, it grabs emotional sayings from the net and says them using a synthesized voice. One of the Teddy Ruxpin dolls speaks the phrase and a spot light illuminates the doll talking. Inside each doll is a custom made board which animates the eyes, mouth and lips.
 Using a Parallax Propeller Jason Dorie built this Quadrotor. Watch the video below to see it in action. It looks to be very stable and with the Propeller processor on board there is sure to be no lack of processing power to keep things nice and stable. “The control board is a Parallax Propeller protoboard (a quick prototyping board you can buy for about $20). The only sensor currently
  Check out this Gir Robot Build. This build is a combination of all sorts of odds and ends. I had never seen Gir before, if you are in the same boat you can see more about the Invader Zim characters here. For an eyeballed hand built version it looks great! The eyes and audio really makes this tiny robot come to life. Thanks for sending it in Rangerx52!
 Building a robot requires many things but movement is something that is common in all robots. There are many motor options when building a robot but no matter what type of motor you select they can’t be powered directly from microcontroller pins since most pins can only provide 20 or 25mA of current. The solution is quite simple, the microcontroller simply needs to send a signal to a motor
  Blair Kelly has designed a fun looking RC car. It has an Arduino mounted in the car, there are a number of sensors that allow Blair to drive the car around viewing the drive on a computer screen. There is even force feedback so when the car goes over a large bump or bangs into something he can feel it. With a head mounted display this thing would
