Here at Street Tech Labs, we’re big believers in the technojunk box, a collection of cast-off consumer electronics to have on hand for delving into when you need parts for robot building or other hardware hacks. We’re also big fans of junkbots, robots built out of as many recycled parts as possible. But this builder, David Williamson, definitely puts the “junk” in technojunk. He builds these amazing rattletrap creations from old motors, gears, switches, relays, and transistors, i.e. the usual suspects, but he also makes judicious use of drinking straws, soda cans, paper plates, cardboard, plastic beads, toy pieces, string, coat hangers, coffee cup lids, bits of pocket lint, fairy dust, and dreams.
After marveling at his wonderful drawing contraptions, check out the rest of his site. It’s a treasure-trove of freeform creativity and technojunk jazz. This cat definitely has the chops.
