Hacker goes bananas, creates robotic Chumby driving machine

How well we know how distorted the world becomes when you're only alive courtesy of (insert energy drink here). Thankfully, we've no idea how twisted your mind must be to create a conglomerate with so much going on, it's truly hard to describe in merely a single breath. Nevertheless, bunnie somehow managed to scrounge up enough hardware to hack together a Chumby-based, drivable RC car with the ability to beam back its surroundings so that it could be controlled from afar. Of course, we can't help but pass along kudos for making this thing work, but seriously, it's high, high up on the list of most unsightly concoctions we've ever seen. Hit up the read link for ugly (and duct tape) aplenty.

Maybe there was a "buy one roll of duct tape get a second roll free" sale.

Thats kinda weird, but okay...

You would think that if someone were to seriously put time into something like this, they wouldn't use a toy, but more likely a hobby grade RC car...

I guess this guy didn't get the memo that those Toy Store RC cars are a waste of money.

I believe this is the same "bunnie" of xbox hacking fame.
