Wow, this is kinda nifty robot. It’s an RC controlled tortoise(or turtle) that does absolutely nothing but go really slow.
R/C Tortoise is a very simple r/c tortoise “bot” with direct control, using a 4 channel radio system.
It uses 4 sub micro servos, and each axis of the transmitter stick controls a servo.

This is sick! Check out the servo snakebot using an Atmel Atmega32 microcontroller and bunch of Futaba servos! You can see more videos of the snakebot here.
The robot consists of nine cars connected with eight Futaba servos controlled by a microcontroller. All wheels are passive, the locomotion comes entirely from lateral undulation, which is wave movements in the plane similar to a snake.

Here’s a cool robot like the Robonova with lots of fast movement.
Futaba reportedly plans to sell its new Futuba Robot worldwide for just $1,200 each. The 10-inch tall humanoid robot uses 11 high torque servos and 9 lightweight servos for the upper body for SUPER-FAST MOVEMENT.
The robot kit takes two hours to build, and will come with 15 pre-programmed moves or use an included motion editor to build their own. Here comes the VIDEO!

Here’s an interesting project that could be used for many applications including “airmouse”…
…use four screens, and sometimes lose my cursor. No more! I have Obi-WanQui-Gon to point the way for me. Using the Makezine Controller, a small X program, OSC, and a pair of servo motors, I have a real-life cursor. The X program tracks the cursor, and ten times a second, sends an OSC (Open Sound Control) command using sendOSC to the controller…
