This project replaces the internal electronics of a “Goofy Giggles” toy with an external board in order to give the toy more processing power to enable it to respond to external stimuli. More info and a how-to at the link below. A Brain Transplant for Goofy Giggles
This project was a challenge to create a wall avoiding rolling robot called “Walbot”. The bot uses an Arduino and is very effective at avoiding obstacles, almost giving it a neurotic personality. Check out the video for details and follow the how-to link below. Build a wall avoiding robot!
