R2-Q5 for those who Want something Different

Star-Wars-R2-Q5-USB-HubR2-D2 is always one of the droids you think of when you see Star Wars. The R2-Q5 USB Hub was designed for those who want something different though.

R2-Q5 was a droid that only appears in Return of the Jedi along with a couple of Lego Star Wars games. The only real difference with this droid is that it’s painted black with red accents and simply just looks different to the usual R2 hub that you see occasionally on someone’s desk. [Read more…]

Toilet Paper Folder and Dispenser Prototype

If you are feeling lazy while using the bathroom then this custom toilet paper folder could be for you. It was made by students at UC Berkeley for a reason I do not fully know yet and am not too bothered if I dont find out either. The parts to build the project were lego, scissors and scrap metal. As can be seen in the video, you push a button and the paper is then folder and cut making it ready to use. Although it seemed to work well on the first run, the second run was more funny to watch.
