Gadgets and gizmos are always a fun part of our day. Some people come up with the craziest ideas on how to use their Android devices, be it for good or evil. This is a toss up between the two. I can see something like this be mass produces and sold world wide. Tamlyn took an old remote control tank and made some adaptations for use with an Android device.
I’m still not sure what this robot will ultimately do but an obvious first step seemed to be to make it remote controllable over the internet.
This is my first Android project but thankfully the Android SDK and documentation are outstanding. With the help of a few tutorials I went from Hello World to a simple app that accepted HTTP connections in just a few hours.
Talk about a wicked cool toy. Now if you can access the camera remotely and give it a cannon to fire, we are all set for some cat chasing in the house and various other sorts of mischief.
