For years I have been telling anyone who listens that I was going to build a robotic drum. Most people kind of shrugged indifferently. Even as I built it, most people kind of glanced over at it and conveyed doubtfulness. It seemed like no one but myself was convinced of just how awesome it was […]
The purpose of this project is to design and build a simple light-following robot using an Arduino Duemilanove microcontroller board. I really wanted to share a robot project that was cheap, simple to build, and had a complete set of instructions for all of the different steps. I hope I’ve succeeded and I’d love to
After wearing myself out playing Wii Boxing I got to thinking wouldn’t it be great if I could use this to control my robot, (looking to my left hand). Looking around the internet I found a bevy of people doing similar things, (links to everyone just below the video). So what follows is a re-packaging

My wife bought me a Hasbro Interactive R2D2 Astromech Droid for my birthday a few years ago after I said how much fun it would be to hack it and I’ve finally managed to get inside and start playing!Although the built-in voice control functions are fun and cool to play with, and our 2 year

The Sphere-O-Bot is a simple 2 axis CNC machine that can draw on most spherical surfaces. You can use it to decorate ping pong balls or eggs.This design is based on the 3D printable Sphere-O-Bot. By building your Sphere-O-Bot using a laser cutter, you can achieve a clean look while also reducing the production time
The FuzzBot is an awesome, fast, fully autonomous small Arduino robot that everyone loves!!! It uses the compact Pololu ZumoBot Chassis kit for a great drive system, and uses a Parallax Ping sensor to sense proximity, to make the FuzzBot fully autonomous. I like to think of it as a cheap & hackable “mini Roomba”
Have you ever thought of controlling your FuzzBot wirelessly? Do you want to make a real – life video game? Do you want to learn about the tech behind NFC and RFID? – the Qtechknow Robot Obstacle Course How – To Guide is for you! Please cast your vote for me (at the upper right

First off this project was a combination of of two great online resources. I had been looking into building an eggbot for a while and since I had a lot of ping pong balls on hand after one of my other videos the time was right for making my SphereBot that could write on ping pong balls.

This project idea came to me when I was sitting on a bed on a hotel room on vacation. I thought: “It’d be really neat to have a robotic hand that I can control with my own hand!” Upon returning home, I embarked upon a journey to design and create the project. I hope you

This is, as the title says, an Arduino-based robotics platform, with its own library. The “standard” model comes with two back motors, two omni-wheels in the front, and a distance sensor mounted on the front. It also has breadboard space on top for adding whatever you want. It is intended to be autonomous, but one
