iRobot Create
Filed in archive General Cool Stuff by Mark Rollins on January 9, 2007
Like the Lego Mindstorms toy, iRobot Create uses a programmable power source that is similar to iRobot's Scooba, a roaming vacuum cleaner. Around this Command Module are several ports for arms, cameras, and other such devices.
The possibilities are seemingly endless with this bad boy. Some are building robots who can pick up dirty socks, fetch cold beverages from refrigerators, and perhaps the weirdest of all, a hamster
car. Seriously, somebody mounted a hamster ball atop the Command Module and now the hamster is driving it around the room. Pretty soon the hamsters will be pimping out their new rides, and racing them like The Fast and the Fur-ious.Okay, that was a bad joke, but the toy looks pretty decent. If you're willing to shell out $130 USD for it, and you have the time, who knows what you can make?
