DIY Robot Lawn Mower
Home-made robot lawn mower. Barbie Jeep + control system + blades & motors. Uses buried wire (electronic dog fence), bumpers, and flaps for navigation. Biased random steering. Transcript: So here's the world famous pink and green lawn mower. Pink for these wheels -- this thing started out life as a Barbie Jeep -- and green for this battery -- doesn't use any gas. It's, uh, got little bumpers...I'll show you how those things work. It's got little flaps...coated with aluminum so that when they touch, the mower knows it's hit something. It's got a little control system -- a *really* little control system: couple of NAND gates, couple of timers, some relays, stuff like that. And that's the basic mower that just responds to the bumpers and the flaps. But it's also got -- I don't know if you can see it -- some coils down here that listen to my electronic dog fence, and a circuit I got off the internet that reads those guys, and treats them just like the bumpers or the flaps, so whenever it hits something it goes in the other direction, until it hits something and then it goes in the other direction. So... Let me turn it over, and take a look at the cutters. There's three motors with little plastic wheels [disks] on them, little razor blades attached to the wheels [disks], and that's it for the cutting. There you can see the...what I salvaged from the Barbie Jeep, the motors and the wheels and the chassis. It's got an independent suspension, so it doesn't get hung up too much ...

Tripp's Race Car Room!
Tripp's race car room at 17 months old. It's not super duper detailed, but he loves it! We still plan to add more things to it, but I've had so many requests from ppl to see his room that I went ahead and made a video, even though it's not quite done. He did AMAZING transitioning from crib to toddler bed. He didn't cry or get out of bed ONCE. He LOVES his race car bed and sleeps and naps in it like a pro! And when he wakes up, he just knocks on the door when he's ready to come out of his room lol!
