Look at This MIT Grad's Diminutive DIY Off-Road Motorized Skateboard [Video]

Look at This MIT Grad's Diminutive DIY Off-Road Motorized SkateboardCharles Guan, recent MIT grad, is certainly a certifiable tinkerer. Where I see a skateboard and a snowblower engine he sees a portable off-road skateboard. Completely DIY, it got noticed at the World Maker Faire New York on Saturday.

Guan's impressive DIY project can reach speeds of 15-20 mph. To me that suggests a helmet, but maybe that's Guan's second project. Who am I to tell a genius what to do with the invaluable brains inside his head? [MAKE]

The Pico Dolly Lets You Take Pics from Its Mini Skateboard [Video]

The Pico Dolly Lets You Take Pics from Its Mini Skateboard Looks like everybody is getting in on these smooth-panning camera systems. A new cousin to the CineSkates, here's the CheesyCam Pico Dolly, a simple setup for littler cameras like the new Sony NEX-7.

Check it out for $65. An extra $25 gets you the 11-inch friction bar for more complicated shots. I kind of want to send this down a hill just to see what happens. [CheesyCam via PetaPixel]
