Hacking old toys into something else.

Howdy,

Over the weekend I hacked a couple of old toys into something else.

Both scored on eBay for silly money. Most expensive parts were the paints!

Tomy Omnibot -> Omniduino

MB Bigtrak - Hacktrak

google circuitbending, people are also using toys as musical instruments!

Can't you upgrade the motors on the HackTrak so it goes about ten times faster?!

I 'upgraded' my BigTrak with rubberised Caterpillar tracks, it was immense for using in the garden.
