Made these guys a little while ago. I’ve been iterating on this robot rabbit form for a while now. I’m afraid there is more to come.

Doing some Robot Minions for the birthday girl. I like how they are shaping up.

The newest Robot Recipe is up on Make:. And those are cinnamon roasted pineapples, not tater tots.

Wobble Bot was primarily made from a pineapple can, a spice container, and a half sphere food form.

Make: asked for a video introduction to the Robot Recipe Projects I’ve been working on. Thanks for all of the help on the video Gabe.

MAKE Magazine ran a how-to on some Thanksgiving themed Robot Recipes, Pumpkin Pi Bots. Made from the cans of pumpkin pie ingredients.

Some parts are straight forward and some parts are so overly complicated, I’d recommend skipping them altogether. But it gave me a chance to use my new Othermill and slip roll. Happy Thanksgiving.

I mentioned before that a slip ring and a caster swivel make for a great robot neck. Here is a video with more details. Thanks Jeff.

I have yet to find a decent 9 Volt battery holder. So I’ve just designed it into the internal structure of my latest robot.

A bunch of CNC’d aluminum plates held together by standoffs. The battery sits in a cutout and a set screw holds it in place from the bottom. More to come.

I’m thinking the combo of a slip ring and a caster swivel make for a great robot neck. More to come.

Made every kid in the family a robot rabbit this Christmas. Each kid got their favorite color. Each one sized according to age.

Finally got the Knight Rider eyes installed in a robot. My 10 year old self is high fiving me right now.

I like how the second round boards came out. A custom PCB would be great, but these will do for now.

I know it’s more of a Cylon than KITT, but that effect will always be Knight Rider to me.
