When I stop and think about it, I've modified toys since I was young. The better word for it is customized. The custom cars were the ultimate but being too young and too broke I had fun with model cars and slot cars (note to self - post something about slot cars).
I have posted about the hex bug before. Most recently I found a new use for an old cellphone battery. Just crude modifications with a battery and LED. Here's that post.
I just found a site that takes hacking the hex bug to another whole level - say hexadecimal.

Applied Inspirations offers the details of an extensive hex bug hack. So if you want more from your $10 hexbug take a look.
Now here's an idea - thinking of my last post about GPS - add GPS to the hex bug and map something. Of course the hexbug doesn't travel over uneven or soft surfaces.
Any possibility in the near feature that you will put small wheels to one of those toys and a video camera on it? I was thinking I could use it to follow my cat around the house and make a fun video :)
ReplyDeleteGreat creativity btw

Thanks for sharing an idea - I have made some with wheels but not controllable. They just go wherever they want. I also don't know how easy it would be to mount a camera but I know they make small cameras.
