* Insect Robot - a omni-directional robot which will be used to simulation insects such as bees since the platform has stereo optical flow vision system using fish-eye cameras which can be moved vertically via a lift platform. NOTE: diameter of robot is 0.3 metres, i.e. not small as the name Insect Robot suggests.
* MiC Robot - pronounced "mick", meaning Mobile interactive Computer is being developed as a cheap research platform for advancements in robotics by research hobbiests. The mobile robot will be upgradable and reconfigurable using DROS as the base software and designed to fit ATX style motherboards.
* ParallelPort PWM/Encoder Linux Driver - a poor-mans motor controller software driver
* PICPrg - a fast Linux command line (or ncurses) program, to program any Microchip PIC microcontroller using the PC parallel port interface. Any parallel port PIC programmer hardware can be used, simply edit the configuration file or use the ncurses configuration menu.
* USB Missile Launcher - a user space Linux driver to control the the M&B USB Missile Launcher. Simple C Implemenation.
