Gingerbreadtron
As featured on gizmodo.com and break.com
It's a robot in disguise - as a gingerbread house. This project was a fun thing to make over the holidays with some servo motors, glue and some cardboard.
It was built with an Arduino Uno board for simple programming and six servo motors. In hindsight the project would have worked a little better if I had thought to use more powerful motors. You can see that some elastic bands were needed in the front to help it stand up. It turns out gingerbread and candy is actually pretty heavy. Here are some pictures of the project under construction:
