oooooo spooky image
this image was created by scanning a Sharpe ir distance sensor on tilt and pan servos controlled by an Arduino and rendered in Processing. the closer the object is the brighter the pixel is .the view is the same as my Egg bot assembly video, if you have had a look at that.
At this point you might be thinking , why is this posted as a robot?!
Drawing on the popularity of the Tiny Tank, I decided that some folks might want wheels instead. I give you, Little Wheels.
The Little Wheels Robot is a great little bot for beginners and experienced robot builders alike. Simple, well designed and cute as a button, it is just a gosh darn good little bot.

Using a web-based phone controller, Steffest controls an array of fourteen percussive instruments that are packed into a setup so tightly I can’t help but use the word “cute.” Despite the amount of instruments, the bot uses only eight servos, six of which play different instruments depending on which direction they swing towards.
The bot provides a convincing Bo-Diddley beat as the maker plays guitar and sings.
The phone’s interface is set up like a standard digital sequencer, and the string is sent to Arduino through a WiFi module and HTTP server.

In this post, I’ll show you how to use a micro-servo in Arduino and be controlled from an Android application. Let’s start by describing what a servo is.
A servomotor is a motor in which the shaft rotates in micro steps. You can control the servo by sending the angular degrees by which it [...]
Watching the seconds go by is a frightening reminder that time pauses for no one, but somehow, a hacker going by the name of Ekaggrat has figured out how to make the process a bit less daunting. The so-called Doodle Clock is an Arduino-powered robotic arm that's been trained to jot down the time with a dry erase marker; once the minute passes, he erases the last digit and rewrites it -- a number beyond what he just erased, of course. Per usual, these things are better seen than read about, so why not hop on past the break and mash play? Smiles await.Continue reading Arduino-powered Artbot writes the time, erases it, writes again (video)
