A simple standalone streetlight
Nice product that is a solar powered street light that apparently can take a beating. And as the author states, the company that made the one in the picture isn’t the only one. http://spectrum.ieee.org/energywise/green-tech/solar/moroccan-solar-streetlighting?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+IeeeSpectrumGreenTech+%28IEEE+Spectrum%3A+Green+Tech%29 http://spectrum.ieee.org/image/2225918

A one armed 3D printer
I like this build, it looks simple and could be easy to expand…but…I would be worried about the weight on the heater dragging the arm down on full reach. Either way its still pretty cool looking. http://hackaday.com/2013/02/25/scara-arm-finally-prints-plastic-parts/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+hackaday%2FLgoM+%28Hack+a+Day%29
