May 2007 - The Robot Head

The Original:

The brief:
My brother recently brought me back one of these rather nifty robot hands from a trip to New York. Turn it on, and the fingers move more or less in time with a piano soundtrack. Well, the batteries ran out fairly quickly, and to be honest I haven't replaced them. What I do like about it is the fact that you can see all the cogs, wires and electronics through the transparent hand. And it set me thinking: could we build a robot head to match the hand? I just happened to have this glass head lying around (sorry it's so dusty) and thought we could give it a go. It's not an easy project, so do feel free to put the head to other uses if you prefer!
