When we first moved out here to NC (2001-2), we lived in a small apartment with no room for a shop. I did manage to get some wood into a project, though. I just ran across this and couldn't resist posting it. 
It was the first version of what turned out to be a wife-chaser. It ended up with a camera on top (developed by the fine folks at CMU) that could track my wife if she wore a red dot on her shoe and didn't move too fast. :lol: Later I hacked an old speech synthesizer chip so I could make it compliment her as it chased her around ... but then I got a job
and now he's just in a box somewhere.
Notice the beadie eyes (they would wink) and sinister frown.

Yeah Lego Mindstorm is great. Lego got together with MIT to developed it for school kids. After a little while on the market, the story goes, the realized that it's not the kids that were buying it!
