The toaster broke a few days ago so I figured I'd turn it into a robot:

It's just going through some motion testing in the video to make sure the electronics are OK.
I plan on having the ping sensor come up when it's powered on and do some obstacle avoidance. Maybe pop down when triggered by something? I was also considering having the wheels or tracks raise up into the chassis. Kind of a "Turtle Toaster" :P Some red pulsing led's in the toast slots?
I'm working on a fork launcher for the 2nd toast slot...
Here's some chassis testing:

I think this is a great idea.
A spybot hidden in a toaster. Who would be suspicious on a toaster?

Normally, I wouldn't give a standard toaster a second look. However, one with visible tank treads, an external circuit board and wiring, as well as a bright LED is another matter... ;)

I dunno, I had visions of the talky toaster from Red Dwarf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Red_Dwarf_characters#Talkie_Toaster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Red_Dwarf_characters#Talkie_Toaster)). Would you like some toast with that?
Here's his innards:

I've been working on this today:

I figured the ability to look up would give him a lot more personality.
Cool by the way. 8) ;) :D
position it so it can look up and down. That makes it look real life 8)
Keep up the good work

Thanks guys!
I have the head worked out:

There is just enough room for him to squeeze out the slot and rotate.
Coding him will be a challenge so I'll be looking for some help!
With the head it'll end-up look a bit like WALL-E's "cousin", maybe you should call it TOAST-E? :)
Well, so far everything fits in the case and works! Wiring up the ping will be the next hurdle...

Very amusing! I had to watch all of the videos you posted and like your thinking!
Very cool Hoff!
How about giving it some eye-balls? Maybe a couple of red or green LEDs in those cool eye-sockets?
Cheers!

It gets stupider...

I don't agree, it seems to be appreciably
sillier not stupider. :)
Edit: By the way, I can understand the piece of bread on the work bench, but why does it appear to be impaled with a screwdriver?

To keep it from trying to jump into the toaster, of course.
Nice
Place a grenade in the second slot and....
if ( Target Sighted) {
Fire in the Hole
}
]:D
The grenade should be a round jelly donut. :)
...Or a Molotov cocktail.. :smiley-eek:
Or a piece of burnt toast. :)

Yeah, but a toast just doesn't look like a grenade. I imagine you could shape the toast, assuming it isn't too burned.

I'm not sure I would want to put a flaming Molotov cocktail on an electronics hack, unless I was serious about causing damage.

How about a piece of toast with a picture of a grenade burned on both sides?
lol... I was kidding about Molotov cocktail..
How about water baloons.....
It's been a while since I've updated this project...
Now she has retractable treads!
