Blubberbot: The DIY Floating Robot

Here’s something cool - remember those little remote-control Helium blimps? Good news! If you liked them, you can now do them one better, in a DIY kit from the MAKE store.

The Blubberbots navigate landscape all on their own, searching out light and cell phone signals to ‘graze’ on.

You can check out the handy standalone How-To here [PDF], or take a look at Flickr to see Blubberbots that others have made here.

The Blubberbot is available from the Make Store for $99.99 (about £50).
