Have you ever seen the Truman Show with Jim Carey? Well Justin is the real life version of that except he agreed to it and made it happen all on his own! Justin decided one morning to attach a camera to his head and stream his world live over the internet for all the world to see. I ran into him and found myself being broadcast as I was filming him. It was very meta, check it out.

What's cooler than one robot playing soccer? TWO robots playing soccer! I went down to maker faire and found these robots with a huge crowd surrounding them. They can flip, roll and fight. Check out this video and see how it's done.

Mark and Bill Sherman have taken their love and passion for robotics and turned it into an artform. And by "artform", I mean ArtBots. I swung by their booth this year at Maker Faire and found out where their inspiration comes from and just what it takes to create your own plantbots. What's a plantbot you say? Well...go ahead and click play and find out :)

The electric giraffe (aka 'Rave Raffe') is a shy, nocturnal creature of the Playa. It can sometimes be found roaming the streets of suburbia where it elicits awe amongst the spectators. Native of Southern California, the 'Raffe can sometimes be coaxed further afield for special occasions.

Enter now the world of the Electric Giraffe, and behold the beauty of its design, marvel at its engineering and revel in the presence of the World's first robotic giraffe.

Plus, you can ride on him!
