The Useless Box is continuing to populate the world with useless... usefullness, and that means it's time for another update on the Make Something Useless Useful project. You might remember we started in 2012 by donating a percentage of past sales of Useless Boxes to Plan Canada. This year we are donating $6000 to assist […]
Looking for something special to do this...

We thought what better to do then build a robot? So we have picked three of our kits that you can build with Dad (or a Son/Daughter). And, not only can you assemble these kits in an afternoon, they will look great showing them off at work on Monday!
Never built a robot before? No problem, our robots come with top-notch components and documentation, and are developed from years of teaching robotics workshops. So, if you have never soldered before you can build our SunSwinger Pendulum. If you want to learn a bit more about robotics try our BEAM powered PhotoPopper Photovore. And if you want the real challenge, plus a robot that knows no bounds, try our xenomorphic Turbot Tumbling Robot.
If you mention "Father's Day Promo" when you are ordering, we'll knock off another 15% from any of these three kits!

In years past we’ve seen Google cardboard VR headsets that are 6DOF, match stick rockets, 3D printed fans that explode when used, 3D printed rockets with cardboard launch […]

Well now. When we told you to "drop by and say hello" while we were at the Vancouver Mini-Maker Faire, we weren't expecting that big of a turnout. It seems like half the people in attendance were there just to see us. We were thrilled to meet so many of you, and although we were […]
