I have piles of useless old electronic junk that I have never quite got around to figuring out what to do with. The folks at Make have a cool idea though, and it involves robots; not actual working robots but anatomical representations of them; lovingly crafted from old components.

If you are not artistically inclined enough to do this yourself, you can buy one from the Maker Shed that comes complete with an 18″ nickel ball chain, but if you ask me these things are made to be cell phone straps.

Price: $12.00 to buy one, free if you make your own. [Make]
