Our GraviTrack Marble Machine Kit is our newest addition to the Marble-Drop mechanism family. Elegant, swooping hands pass marbles to each other to the top of a sweeping multi-level track, available in either solar or battery configuration!

If I could choose a super power, I would pick the ability to erase people's memory. And lucky for me, I've just been granted a free wish from The Magic Taco. Get ready, everyone. Pew! Done! Whew, now we never have to write a new post again. Check out these "new" links we prepared for you today:

Instead, this is what the bottom of the glass would look like after said scotch is consumed. That is, assuming you are a talented photographer named Ernie Button who produced these macro images.

Iris Camera Concept Shoots Just What You See This is a prototype of a camera that uses biometric iris tracking to control the frame and capture photographs. Just double blink to snap a photo!

Skittles sorting machine sorts Skittles, keeps the band happy Never put your teeth on a brown Skittle again! If you're like Van Halen, we have a solution for you that uses a TAOS RGB color sensor to sort this rainbow jumble into neat piles, for no particular reason at all. |

GM10 Wheels
These motors are simply too cool not to have wheels for, and although you can screw on a wheel to the existing motor output arms, these GM10 wheels are much more convenient. We built a micro-sumo robot ("MicroVore" - yeah, we know it means "micro-eater") for the PDXBot competition last week, and came in third […]
