Oh man. I wish that I had these back when Terminator 2: Judgment Day came out back in the early 1990s. These patches strap onto your body and give you the look of a damaged terminator. Were you planning on pulling out the Arnie Attire for Halloween? Don’t get caught without these patches, ’cause they’ll make your costume twice as ...

I just love the color scheme Alex Fojtik used to create this LEGO robot/mech. The all-black body with rainbow prism accents really makes for a good build. Check out his website for more LEGO creations. Link [via]

Say it ain’t so! Brett Brewer, the guy who formed MySpace parent company InterMix Media and later sold it to News Corp., says that Facebook will dominate the social networking war on a worldwide scale. Facebook’s traffic is already overtaking MySpace and MySpace’s appeal is dying by the week. But it’s not just Facebook that Mr. Brewer focuses on: But ...

According to the Anus Squad at Boing Boing Gadgets, this one-eyed robot is a master at playing Pong. In fact, it’s fucking unbeatable. Take that, Federer. Link

That’s it. I’m done posting. Know why? I have to go and try this baby out. Steve Jobs doesn’t have shit on the Robo Urinal. It can hold your dick while you take a leak, how cool is that? Let’s see the iPhone do that. An app just isn’t going to recreate the experience of a metal hand slowly reaching ...

Mashups. Two songs seamlessly flowing over one another. This is what video-mixup collective Eclectic Method does perfectly. After seeing them multiple times in New York City, I wondered to myself why in the hell I haven’t posted about these dudes yet. Let me break it down for you: RAW MIX POWER. That’s what these guys do. We’re talking music videos ...

Any true nerd would love to receive a working robot to do his/her bidding. Joe-Bot does just that. It’s a three-foot inflatable robot that can be controlled via a wireless remote. Make him turn, make him walk, but don’t ask him to call it a comeback. It�s your very own robot friend! Standing at over 3 feet tall, this inflatable ...

My buddy Peter Wang made this path finding robot using a PIC16F876 chip. The interface is done with WinPic software uploaded via serial port. The robot detects obstacles in its path, moves towards them and then avoids them by going around them or by going in the opposite direction. It’s run by four AA batteries which power three motors and ...

Straight out of the cover of a Judas Priest album, this “thing” looks to be a steampunk steed from Hell. Dubbed “Lrry,” it’s a rideable motorcycle/robo-horse constructed by the Mutoid Waste Company in London. The best part about it is it’s 100% recycled. Biker gangs will be running for the hills.
