Matt Denon, a dedicated robotics expert has built the worlds first CNC machine that can walk on the material that it's getting ready to cut. He uses the Hexapod robot, which you can now buy at his store, played around with the programing, and added a drill bit. Although it only can go through styrofoam and high density foam right now, Matt is looking into the possibilities of it cutting wood and he plans on using a smaller drill bit for a clearer model. However, he has come a long way from when he first started because originally it used a marker to draw pictures. Way to go Matt!

BPExplorer- Drive a Real Robot in Australia
BPExplorer is an online game that allows you to drive a REAL robot all the way over in Australia. You first go to there website and join the waiting list. While you waiting you can view the live webcams of the other robots in action. Then, after a little waiting it's your turn to drive and you have complete control of "your" robot for 4 minutes.
