Well, you can say this about the Tri-Bots…. at least they tri.

Robot Roller
Here’s Robot Roller. He’s not a Robo Troller (which is either some sort of device for fishing or some sort of device to mess with people on the Internet.) He’s a Robot Roller. He rolls on one wheel… quite precariously, by the look of it. He enjoys rolling outdoors most of all because even though he’s made of metal, he loves the feeling of grass (or dirt) beneath his wheel. Or something like that…

Eight Hs
What is that thing?
I dunno, but there’s eight of them…

CreeperBot
(consider it cc:by)
I started drawing a robot, but it ended up looking like a creepy guy, so then it sort of turned into what I’m just going to call “CreeperBot” for lack of a more fitting name.
Hmmm, didn’t I draw an Angry Robot recently? I don’t know what it is about these robots… I thought they were supposed to be our friends, and happily assist us with all our tasks.
Of course there is that “DESTROY ALL HUMANS!” thing…

Make A Sketch
The Make A Sketch features an Arduino-based microcontroller and a Processing application that work together to function like an old Etch A Sketch, letting you draw images using just two knobs. It’s a blend of old-school analog art with the modern digital world.
At least, that’s the fancy copy I wrote to explain it… But really, that’s what it is.
Back in May 2011 I did something we called Processing Month (as inspired by Vormplus) and I started out publishing some simple Processing sketches, and about halfway through May, with Gallery Night looming, I decided to try something a bit more challenging, and the Make A Sketch is the result.
Along the way I ended up drilling acrylic, breaking acrylic, drilling more acrylic, learning about Posterous, writing some Perl code, rewriting some Perl code, destroying an Apple Cinema Display, and finally putting it all together into a complete piece.
I used the RED ONE we have at Z2 to shoot this little video explaining it all… There’s also some time lapse footage from Gallery Night, and a selection of drawings from that night.
Oh, I also ended up building a Project page, and a page for the Make A Sketch, as well as permanent static pages for many of my other projects, such as Time Lapse Bot. These pages will serve as the home for each of my projects, and will point to all the associated blog posts, and other related info.
