Geek Native is prone to featuring Matt Needham (aka Spiritgreen) t-shirt designs. That’s because the artist is wise enough to outreach to blog with heads up of when his designs are going to be featured. You have to be quick these days as many t-shirt retailers only sell a design for a single day. That’s […]

Building a real life mecha
The video below shows what a small team in a garage can do. This isn’t a DARPA funded project or a big corporation showing off their tech. Nevertheless, this real life mech looks to be remarkable. It looks like some of the key motion control aspects of the build challenge are well and truly solved. […]

Could you build a Portal Turret? Yes; here’s one
This is an academic project – the creation of a real life Portal Turret. Watch the video and listen as it even sounds like a Portal Turret. It’s a gun that sweetly asks you to come closer. It’s also a gun that tracks you as you move and shoots you. The good news is that […]

Robopocalypse: How to survive the robot uprising
This video makes some important points. Sure, yes, we worry about a zombie apocalypse – and that might happen thanks to chemical warfare, mucking around with genes or too much exposure to reality TV. But is it likely? What seems far more likely is a robot uprising. Today, Google’s robot car got its own license. […]
The Hunt for Pikachu
Forget the Blair Witch project… this is a little more like Troll Hunter. Two friends set off in search for a real life Pikachu. Can you predict the results? It’s worth watching the making of video if you’re into vid-ed.
Real life transformer
It’s worth watching as this RC car drives on screen. What’s the fuss about? That would be a fair question to ask if you hadn’t seen the title of the post. The car really transforms. I think the bar is higher now. Can it transform from car to standing robot quickly? How mobile and agile […]
Gundam & Figma stop motion battle
File this video under “if you have the models – you might as well do something with them” in the stop motion sub-section. Counter 656 says this video took around 3,000 pictures to film. That’s on top of 30 days for the production. The result is a set of models that impress.
When Pikachu found a Gundam
What would happen when everyone’s favourite electric rat found a Gundam suit, wings, guns and all to play around with? Okay, imagine for a minute that the suit was Pikachu sized. That would result in a Pikachu with Gundam wings and an arsenal to pay attention to. Thanks to Modelers G we can see what […]
