TGIMBOEJ for DIY Roboticists Launched!
     



The Great Internet Migratory Box of Electronic Junk (aka TGIMBOEJ) has
left the building! As promised in our earlier story on migratory
junk boxes, robots.net has launched one especially for robot
builders. There are now are a dozen or so TGIMBOEJ boxes moving around
the world but ours is the only one designed by and for roboticists. The
first recipients of the box will be Kris and Carly, those
robot-savvy
girls from Iowa who developed an award-winning
iRobot Create robot
painter for the 2007 Austin Maker Faire. They'll get first choice of all
the interesting junk and will adding in some of their own. Who will get
the box next? Maybe you. To be considered as a recipient, you need to
add your name as well as a link to your blog to the TGIMBOEJ wiki box request
page. Please also add a note by your name saying you're requesting
the robots.net box to make it easy for us to find you. We'll be posting
updates as the box reaches new recipients and you can also following
it's progress at the TGIMBOEJ
wiki tracking page. Our box is designated robots.net-box1. (pretty
catchy name, eh?) So, you're probably wonder what useless junk, er, I
mean valuable electronic and robotic components, made the final cut and
got included in the box? Read on for a partial list and more photos.
