Waiting for the Printrbot is just killing me, but it is actually proving to be a bit of a blessing, since I have time to actually learn about 3D modeling. I hear this is helpful to know when 3D printing stuff. While I have a whole bunch of software at home I am playing with, [...]
Holy crap! It has been a long time since I posted. I have been sort of all over the place with my Arduino stuff lately so I think it is about time for a bit of a recap to get me back on track with the old robot blog! More after the break!
As promised, here is a video I put together where you can watch the latest ‘bot prance about in all it’s goofy glory!

Heh well, maybe not quite, but I like that is actually has a bit of personality. Not very balanced though.. he kinda wobbles around like a drunken robot. I have a [...]
Just a quick note, to let you know that the current build page has been updated. It has some pics of the robot, plus a full parts list and the code for the controller and the bot! If you have ever wondered how to make a simple Remote control with XBee, it’s your lucky day [...]
