DIY Web-Controlled Robot That Takes 1 Hour To Build 56
fixpert writes "We hooked up Pinoccio (an Open Source, wireless Arduino-compatible microcontroller) to a Pololu 3pi Robot to create an unmanned rover that can be driven via the Web. We posted a quick video where you can see us driving our Web Rover in Nevada all the way from Brazil. We used the iPhone's built-in accelerometer as a super-intuitive interface for driving the bot. You can read all about the project — how we built it, what you need to make your own (including source code), and a simulator of the accelerometer interface that you can play with. We're hoping to make Pinoccio the perfect platform for Software Developers to learn how to hack on DIY hardware."

Never, ever claim it's 'cooking' unless you graduated a French cooking school!
Never, ever claim you taught something unless you have an education degree.
Never, ever claim you improved cleaned a room unless you've gotten the dust levels down to some ridiculous clean-room PPM.
Never, ever claim its 'programming' unless you're doing it in binary.
Geez, anal much?
