A RoboCommunity Blog By Hacks & Mods Blogger

Blog Avatar Ever since Mark Tilden delivered on the promise of affordable robots that could do more than build cars and encouraged folks to hack them to do ... well, whatever, the community has responded and hacked/modded WowWee bots to become flamethrowers, shoot pellets, dance, scare their pets, interoperate with other devices, even wear different outfits. And of course, the possibilities are limitless. RoboCommunity is honored to have some prominent Robo-hackers contribute to this blog, so stay tuned for the next product from their creative imaginations.
