Build Your own Biped Robot
BoB the BiPed is a cute little 3D printed robot and winner of Instructables 3D Printing and Pocket Sized Electronics contests. BoB inspired a series of copies and adaptations. Come see BoB at World Maker Faire in New York.

Use a Transistor for a Liquid-Triggered Switch
Garrett used a TIP-120 Darlington transistor, a capacitor, a resistor, and a heat sink to create a sensor that can detect when its electrodes have been immersed in a conductive liquid.
Maker Hangar Episode 14: Flying
In Episode 14 of Maker Hangar, Lucas Weakley shows us how to fly the Maker Trainer! We learn how to throw the plane, how to practice flying in a straight line, how to turn, and many more things.
Maker Hangar Episode 13: Flight Simulator
In Episode 13 of Maker Hangar, Lucas Weakley teaches us about the importance of R/C flight simulators. We also learn about the different types of flight simulators and which ones are the best.
MAKE Presents: The Transistor
Collin Cunningham educates us on the transistor, the amazing component which basically revolutionized electronics.
Maker Hangar Episode 12: Programing Radio
Maker Hangar is a 15-part video series by Lucas Weakley. In Episode 12 of Maker Hangar, Lucas Weakley shows us how to set up the radio for the plane. We learn how to zero out the control surfaces, how to check for the correct directions of all the controls, and how to program in the […]
What’s Inside an Array of Transistors?
ZeptoBars recently broke down a 7-transistor ULN2003 Darlington driver chip and analyzed what each component does, identifying the resistors, diodes, and transistors by peering at the chip through a microscope.
