If I can find a lawnmower, vacuum cleaner, kettle and saucepan each under 100g I'll buy one :stuck_out_tongue:

I like this. Lots of potential. Anyone built one?

Pity the maximum lift is only 100g. I really like the idea of programming macros for something like this but would want something a little heftier.
Even though it can only lift upto 100g, it would make a good starter unit to learn the basics. The more advanced units are £200+

+1. Without wheels, how's this gonna walk my dog?! Plus I weight more than a 100g, how's it gonna lift my lazy ass outta bed each day? Maybe I could buy 1000 of them to distribute the weight?

love this but why go to the effort of making it USB and not powering through that..

USB probably won't supply enough power for it to work, hence the four D batteries.

I'm sure that some of the Wayne Kerrs on HUKD will find a use for this :wink:
