PUSH N900 MOD IN THE USA

Bikes, phones, data, and micro-controllers

Brett and Sarah are a husband-wife dynamic duo from San Jose, CA who loves to create awesome projects in their spare time. Homemade bikes, boats and more clutter their tiny garage, but their desire to learn new skills and find hidden talents drive them to keep filling it up. This latest adventure pairs some of the things they’re most excited about right now: bikes, phones, data, and micro-controllers.

Robot controllable through commands on Twitter

Seeing all the interesting things people have done with the powerful N900, we wanted to do something that would give everyone first hand experience with one of these creations. Eric came up with the idea of a robot controllable through commands on Twitter from a childhood Commodore PET game where you controlled a turtle.Eric is a graduate of Computer Science from the University of Waterloo. Seven years ago, he worked for RIM as a software developer and has continued to be involved with mobile technology. Stephanie is a graduate of Math Business from the University of Waterloo. She has a keen interest in technology and likes adventure and new experiences.

Slot car racing

Pit Crew is team of individuals determined to prove a theory – that Nokia’s N900 device can compete autonomously, beating the best human competition around to win in a slot car race. Coming up with the idea for the challenge now seems like the easy part! We think the marriage of the N900, vintage slot cars, off-the-shelf parts, and an affordable budget will make for a fun and challenging project. Follow our progress here, on Twitter, and on Facebook as we attempt to push the N900 to its absolute limits.
