Readybot is a Robot Maid for Cleaning Your Stuff, Version 0.1

Kit Eaton — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 04:09:00 EDT

It's hard not to watch this video of DIY robot Readybot and think "sweet... what's the next version like?" Looking like everyone's favorite trashcan-shaped sci-fi droid has collided with a dishwasher, Readybot's intended to be a home-assistant 'bot doing a maid's job, cleaning your house. It may be slow and primitive now, but it looks pretty adept at grabbing stuff from the floor. And deploying a Roomba to do the vacuuming is genius. Actually an on-going development by makers The Readybot Robot Challenge, the robot will get more sophisticated, and we'll be watching for Phase 2 later this year. I'll get excited when it can put my clothes away and clean the cat litter tray. [Readybot]

French Maid Skirt PC Case is Otaku Heaven

We're no stranger to maid-inspired casemods and PC accessories, but this Maid PC computer case? It's the perfect PC case for the kind of guy who wants his PC to look like the belly button to upper thigh area of a maid, but doesn't want to spend the time and effort it takes to build it himself. Be aware that the thing costs an extravagant $499, but who can put a price on being able to get off with your PC when the power's not even on? [Kilian-Nakamura]

Anime-Inspired Case Mod

Similar to the Bikini Babe casemod and the wife torso casemod, this casemod combines two things that are dear to our hearts, women and computers.

This one though, however impressive the construction may be—software modeling, sand papering, painting, and more—is kinda weird. The girl's positioned like a sexy maid, staring off blankly into the distance.

The thought of her being connected to a monitor she's positioned in front of, staring with her cold, dead eyes at the images produced by her own innards gives us a case of the heebs. – Jason Chen
