AT&T has released some real gems from its videos archives over the past year, but it’s truly outdone itself this week. It’s dug up a rarely-seen short film titled Robot that Jim Henson made for Bell in 1963, which was intended to explain computers and data communications to business owners at “elite seminars.” It does so with phrases like “Correction: the machine does not have a soul.

Here it is — the final piece in your all fabric New Order cover band. This $30 wearable drum machine brings a much needed edge to ThinkGeeks existing collection of soft-circuit ” instruments .” You can choose from seven different drum kits, including the ubiquitous 808 and a palette of chip tune effects. The T-shirt’s integrated recorder lets you build loops up to three minutes long and endlessly layer on the sounds.

Thanks to James Bruton from xrobots.co.uk for sending in this DIY Vacuum Forming Machine project that he made. He is creating some props from plastic and a vacuum form is one way to get consistent plastic forms of the wooden objects he has already created

Midwest Engineering in Pewaukee Milwaukee has put together a great video showing the robotic technology they implemented for this Robotic Bottling Automation Line to allow it to go from bins of raw goods to a finished product. I am curious how many man hours are needed to keep this machine humming away. I think I would enjoy programming this type of equipment until a customer needed an Automatic Chicken Breast Deboning Robot built !

Having a cool tool like a CNC machine is great but unless it can make something that looks fantastic it is as valuable as a paperweight. The Egg-Bot is a interesting machine which has a limited functionality since it is designed to draw with markers on Eggs (or egg shaped items).
