“If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea” Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Newest Robot
On black Friday I got a great deal on a 3D printer. One robot I've always liked that requires 3D printing is a BoB. The design files for the mechanics are available on Thingiverse. So not long after I got my printer set up and had a couple of prints under my belt my BoB came out. Four 9-gram servos and some small screws later and the mechanics were done. Everything went together without a hitch.
Then I added an Arduino Pro Mini, a boost regulator, a battery pack, a switch, and about an hour of programming.
I've got the 3mm leds for the mouth and the ultra-sonic sensor for the eyes, adding them is next, but that will have to wait until I get home from Christmas travels.
