Book description

If you like to tweak, disassemble, recreate, and invent cool new uses for technology, you'll love MAKE, our quarterly publication for the inquisitive do-it-yourselfer.

Every issue is packed with projects to help you make the most of all the technology in your life. Everything from home entertainment systems, to laptops, to a host of PDAs is fair game. If there's a way to hack it, tweak it, bend it, or remix it, you will find out about it in MAKE.

The May 2006 Volume 06 issue focuses on Robots! Build a pair of electronic insects, LED throwies, a rodent-powered nightlight, a floating tower structure, a bug sucker, and that is only the beginning.
