Possible Weekend Projects: Racing and Robots

Her's an interesting project, Thunderboat racing behind your bike. At first it looked like most of the fun was in painting the boat, until I read to the part about adding a nail in the tail for a stream of sparks as you go around. Sparks and a demolition racing course, who could ask for more?

The second is another robot experiement, this time Linux style. We would need to install Unbutu on our machine first. However, this device does have a wireless input from the computer.
