Raw mat'ls:
Foam board, aluminum(dulled), Poster board, Balsa, ply, MDF
See hobby shops like PM hobby craft and Michaels
Some initial ideas:
XY plotter - supply the parts in kit form. Drawing and cutting are possible.
Ski jacket with Lilypad components - Audio commands are interpreted and response is audio or visual. Get ski performance data and communications, hands free.
Dirt Digger & Camera - Website with a physical robotic arm in a sandbox. Users can book time then remotely interface with the hardware. A webcam gives feedback. A blade clears the sandbox for the next user.
Webify kit - take any experiment and mount it on the web. Control and monitoring.
Previously published models (UWI) - model airconditioning system, car sensors and actuators.
Simple models of industrial processes.
Aqua/Hydroponics - sensors and actuators with vessels in kit form
Smart House model.
A small engine (RC gas) or custom built. Electronic ignition and valves.
A simple steam engine
Alternative energy models - solar, wind, wave
Robots -an arm, simple vehicles (Car, Plane, Boat) - more complex ones (Tether submarine, Aerial photography, security, snow)
Processing/Arduino combos
