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.

Flying Spaghetti Monster Holiday Ornament

Sign Up For The Class!

On Saturday, November 22nd, you can harness the power of an Eplilog 35 Watt Laser! In this class you’ll learn everything you need to know to make the ideas in your head become a reality with a laser.

In this two hour class, we’ll walk through all the steps from idea to pressing the “go” button on the laser. We’ll cover safety and basic design skills in Inkscape, the open source vector editor and you’ll learn how to do a burninate test to find out if something is laserable.

After learning the basics, each student will create their own design and lasercut it on the laser! A $10 lab fee is included in the ticket price and covers 12″ x 12″ of 1/8″ acrylic and time on the laser cutter to cut and etch it. Bring a laptop if you’ve got one and design ideas for your own holiday decorations.

Because this class starts insanely early (10AM) I will also be providing bagels and cream cheese. Give me a heads up if you are a vegan and I’ll make sure to have some jam or tofu cream cheese!

Jon Muller wanted a puzzle that could be done over and over again so he created this thing out of wooden cubes and magnets. It only goes together in one way, so far it takes first timers between 45 minutes and 2 hours to get it together!

Nice HD Video File
