– 6 super-bright white LEDs (Ours were rated for 3.3v with an intensity of 7000mcd.) It is important to note that while writing this how-to, we used a modified design of the Rovio Head-Mounted LED hack, posted to RoboCommunity by. Also, be sure to pick up a copy of RoboRealm at deals.woot while you’re at it. If don’t have a Rovio yet, you should probably head over to Woot and pick one up so you can follow along. In this how-to, we’ll be taking apart the Wowwee Rovio mobile webcam robot, adding some super-bright LEDs for better see-in-the-dark action, and see how some software called RoboRealm can give it a little bit of artificial intelligence. What you are reading right now just so happens to be that idea in action, the first official partnership between Hackaday and Woot.
Then, when the day came for Woot to sell the product, we would post our how-to. Basically, they would give us a heads up on what they are going to sell and we would write up a how-to on how to do something cool or useful with that product. All of a sudden, a member of our group, Jeremy Grosser, proposed the idea that Hackaday and Woot form a partnership. After all of us spent a little bit of time appreciating the open bar, a group of us stood ended up standing around and talking shop for a while. While there, we also attended the It Won’t Stay in Vegas Blogger party and ended up meeting the guys from Woot. As many of you may remember, a couple of months ago we attended CES 2010. Before we get into the how-to, we felt it would be appropriate to explain a little bit about how this came to be.
