Matthew Timmons-Brown (aka The Raspberry Pi Guy) has cut together a fantastic video showing dozens of projects created using the Raspberry Pi and other, historic, clips to give an overview of the last 2 years of Pi-related goodness. Well worth a watch. Don’t forget to visit the YouTube page to leave a comment!
A Lego 4×4 Crawler controlled by a #RaspberryPi
Karl Herrick, together with his kids, built a Lego 4×4 Crawler remote controlled car then added a Raspberry Pi, with camera. He paired it with a Nexus 4 smartphone and used ssh to issue remote commands to control it.

DIY quiz show with a #RaspberryPi – Triviabox!
Sandy Walsh has taken a Pi, a PiFace board, some extra bits and pieces and some bike handles from China and created a buzz-to-give-your-answer quiz set-up. The Foundation have covered it brilliantly on their blog.
Make a laser engraver out of two DVD drives and a #RaspberryPi
Xiang Zhai has done just that. He ripped the two laser diodes out of a pair of drives and then put them together with some other cheap components, attached a Pi for control and lo and behold he’s ended up with a laser engraver!
Ian Miller followed this tutorial and expanded it a bit and created his own version and published his code:
#RaspberryPi inside a Gameboy console
This isn’t the first time this has been done, but it’s certainly the most complete solution I’ve seen.
Anton MacArthur has taken an old Gameboy handheld console, a 3″ LCD screen and a USB SNES controller and done some hackery and come up with a fully portable Raspberry Pi retro gaming device.
Online retailer Phenoptix have also covered this story and they have the 3″ LCD displays in their shop.
Line following self-balancing robot controlled by a #RaspberryPi
Samuel Matos has developed a self-balancing robot and has now added a line-following ability to it. You can follow his progress, including a lot of details about the build and algorithms used, on his blog – http://roboticssamy.blogspot.pt/
