Incrível, do Blog da Ponoko, um Copista-Robot:

A marvelous automatic scribe from Chris Eckert

You may recall a piece we did on Chris Eckert’s automated tattoo machine a few months back. His latest piece “Auto Scribe” is set to be even more breathtaking.

So far the machine consists of three pens, a gaggle of stepper motors, and a plethora of tubes and wires that serve to ink, power, and direct the mechanisms. It’s not too dissimilar from a standard plotter in organization, using a stepper controlled spool to manipulate the paper for the Y axis, and moving the pen gantry with a worm drive to control the X.

...E uma data de ideias Meritórias, num Concurso para ideias para construír habitações para os pobres deste Mundo:

Contest seeks ideas for $300 houses to shelter world's poor


By Tannith Cattermole

What started as a theoretical question posed on the obstacles to global housing-for-the-poor has reached fruition as voting closed June 15th on the 300House project. Contestants around the world were challenged to design a house that could be constructed for less than US$300. Prize money of $25,000 was shared among the top sixteen ranked ideas, with two-week prototyping workshops worth $15,000 for the first, second and third designs ranked by the online voting community, and three awarded the Jury Prize.
