I made this airsoft robot. It is controlled with a joystick that is connected to my computer. Not that much info needed to say, so here is the video. Below are some pictures also of the robot. It is controlled with a roboduino mcu, and a transistor board I made to turn the airsoft gun on and off.

Sudo TV – A robot tv remote

I got really tired of not having a remote for my tv. And I was really to lazy to go out and buy one when I had the parts to make one that I could turn on and off my tv though terminal. So this weekend I got to work and made a simple design, a servo that would push the on button. I than added my bluesmirf so it would be wireless. Now I can just type in terminal sudo tv on, or sudo tv off. It worked ok until I realized I would still have to turn the robot on and off. Well I thought I would share that simple robot with you. You can see pictures below.

Robotic Hamster Wheel

My hamster was starting to get very lazy, and only use its wheel to sleep on. I fixed that, I put my robotic skills to the test to build a robotic hamster wheel, so when the hamster goes onto the wheel it will start to move. Please do not use this on a real hamster, this was just a example of what you can do with robotics, and how simple a robot can be.
