Sparky is a wireless, web-based video-chat robot from the Gomi Style crew. You can learn how to make your own Autonomous Telepresence robot using spare computer parts, some old toys and a bit of custom software (that we provide at gomistyle.com).

Did you know you can build a space rocket using some old tanks, and engine, and some wires? Just do some math and weld everything together.

Hey. Now that sounds like a project! And it's true, too. Home-made rocketry is a huge hobby, with thousands of people putting DIY rockets into low orbit!

Thanks for the comments!
