5 Fantastic Fabrications for Dad’s Day
RAS2025-06-14T15:41:47+00:00It’s Father’s Day season again. If the dads in your life aren’t into ties or chili sauce, here are five fabulous projects you can build with, or for, a father figure. These are inspired by asking the internet what dads like, plus one that I know my dad would enjoy. And if you’ve already got big plans, maybe keep one in mind for next year.
Simple Sifter Coffee Roaster
We’ll start as many things start, with coffee. Getting...French Makers Are Celebrating This Weekend!
RAS2025-06-13T21:42:30+00:00Today and through the weekend makers, innovators, and creatives of all ages will have the opportunity to show off their skills and learn new ones–not only at Maker Faire Lille, the country’s flagship event, and Maker Faire Lens (also in Northern France), but at over 100 “mini” events across France and as far away as Corsica. Since 2016, Maker Faires in France have been co-developed with Leroy Merlin. Each edition highlights innovative projects by craftspeople and connects communities to encourage...
Konami Testing Out Dance Dance Revolution Stomp Arrows At Round1USA
RAS2025-06-13T19:48:45+00:00The slow, quiet return of Konami into the US arcade market continues with another game on test, this one carrying the highest name profile of anything that the company has done in the US as of late. Everyone knows the Dance Dance Revolution name, but when they think of the game, that hasn’t normally (or ever – I think) involved tickets. That might change to some degree with the new Dance Dance Revolution Stomp Arrows game that has been...

Previewing Alpha Ops VR Strike’s Stages
RAS2025-06-13T02:16:39+00:00Summer’s here, and with it a number of big new arcade exclusive releases are near. Several of these games have had to be pushed back slightly due to the tariffs situation, however, with things currently looking somewhat clearer on that going into the second half of the year, it won’t be too long before they are finally shipping now. One of those new arcade exclusive releases is Alpha Ops VR Strike, the upcoming original virtual reality motion shooter from...
Build your own 4DOF robotic arm on a budget
RAS2025-06-13T00:54:23+00:00Arduino Team — June 13th, 2025 Robot arms are very cool and can be quite useful, but they also tend to be expensive. That isn’t just markup either, because the components themselves are pricey. However, you can save a lot of money if you make some sacrifices and build everything yourself. In that case, you can follow Ruben Sanchez’s tutorial to create your own four degrees of freedom robot arm from scratch. This design...

They discuss the impact their book has had on readers, igniting meaningful conversations about the maker mindset among people of all ages. Amber shares the story of how she and Marilyn met and collaborated on the book, which serves as both a personal narrative of Marilyn’s life as a maker and a reflective guide for developing makerspaces.

RAS2025-06-10T20:19:52+00:00Arduino Team — June 10th, 2025 Typically, consumer drones take off from the ground or some other solid surface. But that isn’t very cinematic and toss launches — when the pilot throws the drone up into the air — are a lot more interesting to watch. Sadly, NickFPV isn’t very good at tossing his drone and that invites ridicule in his videos’ comment sections. To redeem himself, he built this automatic drone launcher triggered by an...
