art :: typewriter robots

Who said typewriters have become obsolete? Not Jeremy Mayer. His typewriter sculptures are pure genius! Made entirely of typewriter parts, they bring all the intricate typewriter dodads from typewriter keys to carriages and platens to print wheels to typewriter ribbons to life!  His ingenius type-robotics are full of character, whimsy and personality, don't you think? They aren't soldered, glued or welded together either but assembled organically so that all the pieces fit together and hold it together.

Fascinating! And JUST COOL!

robots :: new uses for styrofoam

For Geek Dad Kevin Kelly, all it took was five years worth of saved styrofoam, lots of silicone glue, a foam cutter, inspiration from a North Carolina Museum and his building partner son to construct this StyroBot that stands almost 7 foot tall and weighs less than twenty pounds. It took many months to build but what a nifty project for father and son, don't you think?

Its JUST COOL!
