On a warm summer day, work in the office can be somewhat challenging. It’s like being stuck in hell with fluorescent lighting. How could you make your life a little bit better? Why, by building a robot sidekick, of course!
TechWeekEurope has joined forces with RS Components to give our readers the opportunity to create their very own original office contraption. Send us your idea, and if we like it, you will receive £250 worth of components to bring your design to life.
Due to unforeseen circumstances (and a lack of robot sidekicks in this office), we are extending the deadline for the competition: instead of 3rd June, it will now run until the 23rd. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
The entries so far have included an autonomous to-do list printer, an electro-mechanical weather visualiser, and an office plant babysitter, complete with a detailed circuit diagram. But this author’s personal favourite has to be iPIckU – “a Raspberry Pi based device to help you pick a volunteer for the job that nobody wants”.
Do you think you can do better? Join the competition!
Here’s what we’re asking you to do:
