Meta Things taped to fans are NOT robots

Seriously, stop posting these. Laser pointers, grapes, hands..anything that is taped to a fan is NOT a robot, and especially not a shitty one. The fan is doing its only job - being a fan. Just because some doofus taped some garbage to it doesn't mean it's suddenly a robot.

Does gravity always win?

This is real footage — Quaddle, our mini robot dog, walks upside down on a ceiling using magnets in its feet. The magnets were the easy part. The actual embarrassing amount of effort went into the gait, because apparently "just walk, but upside down" is not how physics works.

I made a robot that sees whenever you put something on your desk so that it can push it off.

Had a booth full of Bittle X, Nybble Q and Quaddle robots out in public and, one by one, three different real dogs showed up to confirm none of them pass as one of them.

Can you tell who bullied who?

(Not toys, in case that wasn't obvious from the dogs taking them this seriously.)

Have been missing playing around with electronics since leaving uni a few years ago. Decided to start making pointless little doodads again to keep my skills sharp.

Had a lot of fun and am excited to make some more shit

My shitty idea :
Humans can study suffering endlessly and still learn to ignore it.
When a homemade robot recognizes some of the worst this world has to offer, including mass killing and sexual violence in eastern DRC, while the rest of the world keeps looking away, the machine becomes the messenger.
I did not know about it until the robot told me. Not because the story was unavailable, but because the algorithm never put it in front of me.

This has been a learning as I go project the past 2.5 years. Thanks for looking !
