This Raspberry Pi Powered Robot Arm Beat Its Kickstarter Funding Goal in 2 Days

If you want to make your life easier with a personal assistant robot that cleans your house, folds your clothes, makes your meals, and cuts the lawn, wait 20 years. If you just want to have some fun, and maybe get your kids into robotics and programming, check out MeArm Pi. MeArm Pi is a UK-based robot arm kit for Raspberry Pi, the tiny credit-card-sized computer that costs $20-50. "The MeArm Pi is an award winning robotic arm kit that's simple enough for a child to assemble," project founder Ben Gray says on the Kickstarter page. "It integrates directly with the Raspberry Pi you know and love and you can either control it directly using the on-board joysticks or by programming it from the Pi in your favourite programming language."
