From the MAKE Flickr photo pool
Flickr user Lewinski used the motor from a CD player in his symmetrical solar-powered bot. Hmmm. . . wonder how it could work with an actual CD incorporated as well.

The "Walking Ladder" by Niklas Roy is a remote controlled ladder with a joystick shaped like a paint can with a brush. Pretty simple application for something that could actually be useful when you are painting alone and don't want to move the ladder.

If you are like me, you hate to sweep and are too poor to buy a "Roomba". This BristleBot project by 11th grade programming wiz, Erin Kennedy, is a pretty simple way of getting some basic cleaning done and watching the bot scuttle around on the kitchen floor is pretty fun too.
