This week I’m taking my screwdriver to the robopet. What will I find inside Mark Tilden’s robotic dog?

Thanks goes out to Danger’s Closet for donating the beast.

This documentation of robopet evolution is awesome! It really gives you an idea how Mark Tilden, one of my robotics heroes, thought through it.

The big trak was a toy I lusted after as a kid. You could program it to go into the kitchen have your brother put an apple in it’s dump truck wagon and turn around and bring it back to you.

This came out in 1979 and with infinite money I would make a lifesize big trak out of a 1988 honda civic.

Check out this wonderful take apart of a big trak.

So, you already know that I’m making videos like crazy this month. So far I’ve done three things videos. Today it’s “Take It Apart Tuesday” so I’m taking something apart!

George gave me a hard drive that’s dead. Rather than throw it out, I’m going to take it apart and see what I can salvage! To do this, I’m using a screwdriver with a  Mini Torx Screwdriver Set.

Luscious HD File.
