I got to help build Mousey the Junkbot this week with my dad, it was lots of fun! (but even more fun to play with and decorate!) Check out the video on youtube or the post on Makezine.com. Two more mini maker shows to come!

µCAI News: Project wiki setup

Not that anyone should give a flying terd at this point, I took an hour, and a little spit and chewing gum, and mangled together a quick wiki project site for µCAI!

Right now, it's just my notes for how it could work, but I'll be padding out the pages to get the basics down, shorten the main page, and then sending the link off to some smart people on twitter to see if anyone is interested.

Where's my smart MCU? Maybe it's here...

Ok, so.. maybe I'm crazy but... ever since my initial foray into Micro-controllers, so little emphasis is kept on the actual building when it comes to "moving" bots. On the beloved arduino, all it takes is a single open source shield (or less) to start making a chassis move, and right out of the box you can receive and measure various sensors and inputs.

Robot Adventure: Part 1

Hi everyone! You'll all be amazed to hear, I finally made a robot! (With my dad...).

I've always wanted to make a little buggy bot that goes around the house doing stuff.. so.. here he is!! Sorta...

He's got a long way to go. My dad says we have to start simple, or it'll never get done... I still think it needs lasers first. How else will it fight the evil dust bunny empire???
