Playstation 1 Gets New Life As A Robot
Writing by Conner Flynn on Friday, 14 of September , 2007 at 12:12 am
So you have a spare Playstation 1 sitting around, collecting dust. You’ve already moved on to Playstations 2 and 3. What does one do with an old gaming console? Put it on eBay? Sell it to an old lady at your next garage sale? Turn it into a robot, silly!
That’s exactly what Harold Ilano did. He took out the game consoles innards and built a cool looking insect robot that has light sensors so it can follow light sources. The video is basically an updated version of a game that many of us have played with our cats or dogs.(Shine the flashlight around the floor and watch them chase it.)
Apparently Harold never thought about just buying a cat. But we thank him for putting a technological twist on an old favorite. For a video and links, hit the jump.
