We do some stuff around the office just for fun once-in-a-while. One of these projects resulted in this set of Vibebots, built by Grant McKee. Simple, a bit noisy, but FUN!
Friday New Product: All the Books!
Solar botics
July 5, 2013
After we have survived recent natural disasters like floods and thunderstorms, mosquitoes are another disaster that needs elimination. I don’t like mosquitoes. They are evil vampires lurking in the dark. Flies on the other hand are jovial and rich in protein. Cats usually specialize in them. But cats don’t tackle mosquitoes very well.. . I wish someone after reading all these books we have for you today built a mosquito-destroying machine. With vacuum suction, manometers and imitation sleeping human bodies for bait...

We made a build that involves a simple slow-scroll RGB LED and a few reflective bits to bounce that pretty […]
