Remember the 64 RGB-LED Color Table that was featured last week? Well believe it or not there has been a tremendous amount of work completed on the project since then. Now you are able to connect the table to a computer and turn it into a low resolution TV or play a game of Tetris! It will be interesting to see what the final project that Edo is working on will be capable of.

Tic tac toe is a classic game that everyone knows. As you get older it looses its appeal since the result will always be a tie unless someone makes an obvious mistake. This water based version of the game could make it fun again just because of the neat visuals. Meiravor demonstrates how the game works in the first video, the second video shows how the circuit functions.

It has been almost a year now since the Disney movie WALL-E was released, Hacked Gadgets featured some mods that were made but there has been a huge WALL-E following and countless hours spent making case mods, reproduction robots and other hacks. Thanks to the huge WALL-E mod community for the interesting creations, if you only have time to look at one hack scroll down to the bottom and look at #1 you will be amazed! I couldn’t find any build details on the above video, I think that it was created for Disney to promote the movie but if you have some additional information I would love to hear about it.
10. WALL-E Laptop
This video shows the amazing process of turning a normal looking laptop into a WALL-E Laptop. The airbrushing technique is wonderful.
9. LEGO WALL-E
From far this WALL-E build looks like the toy you can get from the store, it isn’t until you look closely that you can see it is all LEGO! "A few months ago, I decided to build Wall-E, from the Disney movie that is just around the corner. Meant for a display in July, I finally was able to focus on the model and build it within three weeks - with lots of down time. Wall-E uses 2 Power functions IR controllers, so he can move and move his neck up and down. Also, his arms are on ball joints, so while not motorized, they can be posed. A mount is on the side for the arms to rest, but can be replaced with grill plates to be more accurate."

The guys over at TechRestore take lots of technology apart to show us how it works. They made one of the best screen backgrounds that I have ever seen. It is a picture of what is literally behind the screen! This isn’t an amazing feat of technological wonder, but sometimes it’s the little things that make me smile. Have a look at the PSP deconstruction video below, that video must have taken forever to film…
You should also keep your eyes on the PSP sites since it looks like Sony will be having lots of contests to win your own PSP. |

You may remember the Paintball Sentry Gun that we featured last year. Well the team over at The Sentry Project has not been resting, the new version of the gun software is now available on Ebay and it looks very impressive. It was very sensitive and precise before but have a look at the videos, it has been tweaked to improve the results! I wish I owned a junkyard, I would get rid of the dog and purchase a few of these. "The software kit is an inexpensive solution for building your own Automated Sentry. It is ideal for those of you who are mechanically inclined or have custom applications in mind. The Software Kit will consist of the software and the servo controller. They cannot be separated because the software only works with the that specific servo controller. They will be auctioned off on eBay to eliminate the possibility of me charging too much or too little. The kit can be used for anything from a harmless video surveillance system that tracks and zooms in on moving objects, to a full fledged, heavy duty, gun platform (for area denial or force multiplication) or anything in between."

The crazy guys over at Mana Energy Potion needed a way to blow off the excess energy that is built up from selling the liquid energy. No they didn’t buy a treadmill, they made a DIY Airsoft Shooting Gallery! The list of needed items is not that bad and allowed it to be constructed for around $35. "What you need: 1 x 24" by 60" board Drywall screws

Using a PicAxe microcontroller Eric from the Hacked Gadgets Forum coded an interface between the I2C Wii Nunchuck and some status LEDs. It would be trivial from this point to make the circuit activate relays or anything else imaginable instead of just a few LEDs. If you are interesting in playing with this project the code is available.
