Here’s some great news for Target shoppers and cashiers, Target is now applying a “checkout game” for all their cashiers where they are graded based on how quickly they can process customers.

This will be a good way to save space as you can “drill” the magazine holders onto the side or any part of your desk/furniture.

Remember the Automatic Ball Throwing Machine for your dog? Well, get one of these Robotic Dogs and you will have a complete dog throwing/fetching automation. Why not?
This robot uses an Acroname CMUcam2+ for its eye and an Acroname BrainStem GP 2.0 microcontroller for its brain. It chases down a bright pink ball (which I made with a styrofoam ball and neon pink acrylic paint), grabs it with its dual-servo pincher, and brinks it back to its home base by homing in on another bright pink target (conveniently mounted over the iSight

I’ve been witness to some retro Atari’s you can buy at Target for like 30 bucks. Here’s some cool kits you can actually put sensors and make it act as an MCU.
AtariLab is a sensor kit for the 8-bit Atari computers. I ordered two of the kits recently, the starter kit and the light kit, and they both arrived in pristine condition. They work great with the Atari 130XE, but the light sensor was giving me some random readings (replacing the photoresistor in that wouldn’t be hard). The breakout board attaches to the
