In recent history engineering colleges around the world have sponsored robot competitions, often where robots battle each other and the last robot standing wins. Now ordinary citizens, and their robots, can take part in one (not necessarily a fight to the death). Here's a list of competitions from NASA's, Robotics Alliance Project, last updated today. IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, read I-Triple-E) Spectrum has a page reporting DIY robots news.
Kits and parts are available for purchase in building your own robot. A sampling of retailers is dfRobot, "drive the future;" Machine Science Inc., which offers parts and tutotials for all types of electronics projects; and, of course LEGO. Just take a look at LEGO's latest product, Mindstorms EV3.
Genomicon, "the crowd-sourcing of intelligent-design," has a do-it-yourself robotics page. Here are some gems from it.
3d printed flying flappy thing:
Your hair is scribble:
The rising tide of smart s**t (a must see):
Taking the cue from the video about Paul the robot drawing Patrick at tenderpixel gallery ("Your hair is scribble"), robotics appear to be moving into the arts. From TechCrunch there's news of "A French Artist Is Posting DIY Robot Parts So We Can Print Our Own Androids," an article by John Biggs.
Forward, Ho!
