If you want to wear a set of glasses that will make you look like a cartoon character look no further than Blinking and Winking Laser Cut Eye Project. They can wink, blink and if you shine a bright light at them they will squint. If you are interested in making one for yourself Ben has made the Arduino code available here. Stupid Pet Trick – Blinking LED’s from B.Light
Check out the cool Solar Robotic Bug Hack that Oriental Robotics did. It converts a small cockroach like bug which is normally just battery powered into a bug that is only active in the light. When placed under a dark box they scatter as soon as the box is lifted. This is guaranteed to be a great way to scare the wife also if you put a few of these
 Thanks to Mark Frauenfelder (Boing Boing), Charlie Sorrel (Wired), Wesley Fenlon (Tested) and David Ponce (Oh Gizmo) for writing about the Remote Control IR Jammer! Mark calls it a TV-B-Gone-B-Gone, that’s a funny concept. Just think if the CES booths has some of these on hand in 2008, Gizmodo might not have had as much fun shutting down all the TV systems .
Steve Schuler sent in this Spy Video TRAKR Claw Attachment Hack he has done to his Spy Video TRAKR. The new version of the spy car has a ton of additional features when you compare it to the older Spy Video Car that we took apart. Wildplanet has really gone in a good direction with this new device since they are opening up their device for custom code to be
Instead of hiring a security guard why not make a Security Robot. There are tons of features in this Arduino based robot but the thing I find most interesting is that after it has driven around draining the battery it can charge by driving over the charging strips shown above. This solution seems much easier than the charging cradles that we have seen many other system doing. Via: Adafruit
This project by Robotics / Electronics / Physical Computing is an Airsoft RC Tank that Tracks the Enemy and Fires at them. Using IR LEDs on a target and a LEGO NXT brain the robotic tank drives around looking for the target. The tank doesn’t hit anything because it has an ultrasonic sensor in the front to sense the distance from objects. A Wiimote camera is used to look for
We have seen quite a few Nintendo Nunchuck hacks. The Nunchuck is a great piece of hardware for hackers since it packs lots of great sensors and switches in a nice looking, functional package and best of all they are cheap! The LVL1 Hackerspace decided to use a Nunchuck in a Fire Breathing Pony project that they brought to Maker Faire Detroit. There isn’t much details on the build yet
