DIY Robotics revolution

One of the most interesting topics talked about in this class was the revolution in robotics that was presented by David Gerhard.  Working with Arduinos is something that I am now looking forward to doing in the future.

http://hacknmod.com/hack/top-40-arduino-projects-of-the-web/  is a website that lists 40 interesting Arduino projects.  These projects include a wide range of devices, from musical instruments to spy planes.


 
The building of things like spy planes by the general public can be viewed as very controversial, however in the age of constant monitoring by the government, perhaps the DIY revolution in robotics will help to balance out power in society.
http://hacknmod.com/hack/hack-a-nes-controller-into-a-security-keypad/ is a project using a classic nintendo controller to control a security system.
This is a robotic drum set controlled by Arduinos.  A link to the instructions as well as a video of them playing can be found here.
