What’s great about this DIY isn’t just the Crabfu robot but the material ShapeLock used to make it. Well, I’ve been looking for something that you can mold easily such as ShapeLock.

Great DIY and thanks for sharing the information with us.  The crab robot is so awesome!  (except crabs walk sideways, not forwards and backwards…hehe you need to add one more leg on the back to really crab it, I know because I go crab-fishing all the time.)

I-Wei thought his SwashBot 2 was cool and all, but had lost some of the character of his original SwashBot. So, he built a third version that combines the mobility of the second with the charm and personality of his first crab bot. To build the body and the leg components, he used an amazing molding material called ShapeLock. Seeing the results definitely makes this something I want to check out. You can mold it very thin and flexible for the body pieces or thick and rigid for functional components like the leg segments.

Since I have been playing with green lasers for about a year, I never saw any good use for them except to point them to the sky or buildings.

Since the green laser has a lot of power, especially the one DragonLasers sent me recently, I decided it was time to make a simple green laser projector without me spending days to build one.

This simpler green laser projector was made so I could use it for my next party and I always wanted to make this. Although this laser projector only does one animation, 2 whirpools, I planned to improve upon after making this very basic version.

When the motor is stopped, it also displays a bunch of green laser stars like this:

Well, here’s a DIY LED tiles for your bathroom.  Btw, you can go buy these color changing LEDs over at IKEA for about $10-20 and slap them on too.  Regardless, kudos for the project there bud!

A lot of people have been posting projects about ambient orbs or LED night lights.  I wanted to try something a bit different with LED lights.  I’ve been doing some renovations in our ensuite bathroom and decided to test out an LED strip behind the glass tiles.

Some people may ask why… I’ve asked myself that a number of times.  Bottom line is because I wanted to see what it would look like.  Like a proof of concept, in case I wanted to do something like this when I start renovations on the main bathroom.

Above is a picture of Tengu, it’s basically a LED display that syncs to voice and music.  You can buy one but I guess these guys over at Tinkerlog have made their own ‘DIY’ version Tangu.

This is a new version of my Tengu clone. This time on a printed circuit board (PCB). I have them produced by Olimex and I am very pleased with the quality. The PCB worked on the first try and has some minor issues only.
