We recently did some team-building at work featuring off road segways, rekindling my desires to get/make one. The offical ones are a bit too pricey at £4k last time I looked!

This DIY Segway shows that they can be put together for a lot less though and although this one is more suited to the tarmac it is some good inspiration.

My UAV needs to be quite big to stabley carry a payload of 1-2Kg. This thing weighs 8-10Kg and can carry another 4-6Kg!

So I’ve had a very busy run of weekends, not leaving much time for hackery. Looks like Ben Heck has beaten me to the punch in modding a carousel. He connected his to an xbox 360. As well as spurring me on this has given me some good tips of how to do it.

One summer day at Uni, Schwar turned up with a rocket with a camera in it. We had a great time launching it a few times (and subsequently trying to find and get to where it landed).
