Forget a rugby player, this Optimus Prime Transformers PC case mod will scare the stalkers off!
…and no doubt ensure you never get a boyfriend/girlfriend again.
As everyone and their Josh Duhamel-fancying girlfriend knows, a Transformer just isn’t a Transformer if it doesn’t, well, transform. Things have to do what they say on the tin now, otherwise People Get Angry.
So full points to the man stuck in his perpetual ’80s flashback who created the fully customised Optimus Prime PC case. Able to transform from a PC tower…
Is Sony creating a new AIBO compatible with the PS3?
Many have prophesised the return of the mighty Aibo – but few have dared to imagine the full potential which Sony maketh. Y’know, the usual exploding batteries, huge expense, their usual deal.
The lovely Kotakuite, Brian Ashcraft, published an interview with Masaya Matsuura, not only a game designer, but also huge Sonypal. According to Matsuura, consumers may be seeing a slightly AIBO-esque robot…
Forget Marc Jacobs, these £830 Gundam t-shirts will definitely put you in the red
Those unfamiliar with Gundam merchandise may be shocked to learn this t-shirt will set you back £830/$1,690, but that’s fairly cheap for a piece of Gundam merch, believe it or not…
Shiny Video Review: Homer Simpson Robosapien – meet Homersapien
Homersapien very possibly gets the better of Zara when they go head to head. D’oh!…
Win a Doctor Who R/C Dalek Battle Pack from Prezzybox and Tech Digest!
Yup, we’ve teamed up with Prezzybox, the online gift boutique, to hand out one Dalek battle pack to a lucky Tech Digest winner.
You can ‘seek’, ‘locate’ and ‘annihilate’ to your heart’s content with the remote control Dalek, and aim your weapon at an opponent’s Dalek’s Infrared sensor and ‘exterminate…exterminate!’ When hit five times, the Dalek will scream ‘ARGH!’ and an explosion will be heard…
Tech Digest's Robot World Cup: Semi-Final
No, we hadn’t forgotten about it. We were just giving the final bots in our Robot World Cup a few weeks to rest their bones (well, mechanical joints) before rejoining battle. And what a battle it is. We’re at the semi-final stage, which means the last four robots in the competition. Three of ’em are humanoid: Honda’s Asimo, WowWee’s Robosapien RS Media, and KornTech’s Rogun. The quartet is completed by iRobot’s military Packbot, which swaps legs for tank treads.

We love a robot here at Tech Digest – in fact we’ve got a section full of them. And now we can have one sitting proudly next to our PCs with the USB Dancing Robot.
Sanyo and Tomy's i-SOBOT is the smallest robot in the world
And that’s official, according to the Guinness Book of Records. Although I daresay it’ll soon be swept out of the record books by a host of teeny-tiny nanorobots. Anyway, i-SOBOT stands just 165mm high, yet Sanyo and Tomy have squeezed some nifty robo-tech inside.
Woman gets carried away on robot
It’s the middle of July, which mean Grandma will be phoning up soon to ask what we want for Christmas. ONE OF THESE!
It’s a personal robot walking machine, that will make those tiresome trips from the PC to the toilet and back to the PC again much easier…
Suck at Guitar Hero? Fool your friends with the Guitar Heronoid robot
Guitar Hero is without a doubt one of the most enjoyable games available, although let’s be honest with each other…we’re not very good at it, are we? I’ve just about nailed Iron Man by Black Sabbath, on the first version, but John the Fisherman by Primus, on Guitar Hero II? Bah! I’m lucky if I can match even two of the notes.
That’s when you need to call on your good mate Rafael Mizrahi, who has just created a robot called the Guitar Heronoid. Like most men I know, it’s divided into two parts – the brain, which detects and analyses the PS2 video signals and generates play-commands such as when to press the buttons, when to strum etc, and the body, which reads the play-commands and controls the twiddling fingers…
