This may come as a bit of a shock to you, but the hands that package your orders actually belong to humans. Sure, we may be a robot company, but robo-hands just aren't quite up to spec for what we need to do. So for the moment we're staffed by a contingent of mortals, and […]

Solar botics
March 7, 2013
Thursday is the new Wednesday, did you know? According to the new bylaw, you might have heard about this one... Okay, to be honest, we are late with the post... But doesn't that make it more exciting?! I bet it does, so here we go, the long-awaited links:
 |
Laser Origami We've got lasers. We like lasers. What's really cool is how _these_ guys bend lasers to their will to do 3D fabrication. Kudos - very impressive! |

Building An Active RFID People / Asset Tracking System With Mesh Networking RFID tracking system using mesh networking! Lost keys and people, tag, you're it! Never get lost again. |

Unstable Matter: A Giant Moving Surface Containing Thousands of Steel Ball Bearings A clever take on a rain stick, and really fascinating to look at. I wonder how some magnets underneath would alter the movement... |

A DIY digital camera made with cardboard and an Arduino DIY craft paper camera using Arduino UNO, are a lithium battery pack, a Snootlab SD card Arduino shield, and a JPEG color camera TTL interface. Rrrreally interested to see how that's made, hopefully the makers will release the code and more details soon. |

100 LASERCUT JEWELRY DESIGNERS This is one MEGA link to see what's out there in the world of lasercut jewellery and hunt for ideas, materials and shapes. |

And continuing the blame-game, I gave him […]
Sumovore Atmel Brainboard code upgrade
The Atmel Brainboard is a very popular add-on to our Sumovore Sumo robot. But with newer releases of the WinAVR GCC programming suite, there is a difference in the way the source code is handled that will make it not compile and load properly. Bob Cook has been nice enough to tweak our source to […]
Special Gift Ocarina Box
Now that the season of mass gift giving is (temporarily) over, publishing the details on this special gift ocarina box for a wedding anniversary will not ruin a surprise.
