How to make an obstacle detection robot
This video shows how to make a very simple obstacle detection robot following the KISS approach. I have modified the previously built robotics platform to implement the obstacle detection capabilities. You can watch the video on how to build a simple robotic platform here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aTY0TcRoiE&feature=colike. For more details on the robot controller and the IR sensors…
Robot Wars Competitor Models
S1E15 A video showcase of some of the Robot Wars contestant robots which were not released as toys but I constructed from cardboard as a child. They are roughly to the scale of the other pullback toys that were available at the time. I built some of them around ten years ago and they have…
Arduino Weather Station / HVAC Controller
We have built a solar powered Arduino based weather station / digital thermostat, and have produced a instructable on how to do it.

Aquabots Summer Camp at University of Kentucky
Twenty girls, ages 12-15, from Central Kentucky, spent a week at the University of Kentucky learning how to design, build and program Lego robots at UK’s first-ever Aquabots Summer Camp. The camp was one of several “Waterbotics” camps across the country, designed to promote interest and enjoyment of science and engineering study in junior high…
