The video above shows the action of a gear-and-lever assembly designed to operate the legs of the TE+ND Rover, a gardening robot which will be on display at the Bay Area Maker Faire, May 19th & 20th.

In the last week we have also been treated to another peek into the continuing drama of Q.bo’s exploration of its environment, as one Q.bo meets another, and a pair of robot arms one of which draws pictures while the other holds the drawing surface.

Q.bo, meet Q.bo…

Not bad for freehand!…
