I've been a bit under the weather lately. Stuck at home, too cold to go outside, sleet and snow keeping anyone from coming by to visit. So I had to find some way to keep from getting cabin fever--and I thought of a few funny ideas for the handibot. I thought y'all might be interested in the results.
The first one is a machine that mostly just makes messes; occassionally it will ice a cupcake though. Can you think of something more useful that it could do? [

The second is a bit more useful--some friends of mine wanted some t-shirts made and I thought we could use an attachment that could hold those nice big fabric pens that won't wash out in the laundry: [

My next goal is to get it to do a painting--I had it transcribe a Basho haiku with pretty good results the other night: [

Apparently I just really need to get better and get back to work! Though things are plugging along in my absence as we're building our first batch of handibot 2.0s. It is fun to take a break and do something a bit more whimsical from time to time...
