5 Impressive Robotics Projects You Don’t Want to Miss
A few of our favorite robotics builds from the Make: archives.
Mobile Breadboards for Nervous Network Sensor Integration

Build a Fun Solar Roller or Symet BEAM Bot This Weekend
Inspired by nature and driven by solar light, BEAM Solar Chariots are both simple and fun to build – and move all on their own!
