The full story

A biped robot built from an Acebott STEM kit is handed to Claude, which can only see it through a webcam. Claude looks at a photo, sends a text command such as forward or turn_left, and checks the result. The mission is to push a box off a table without falling off.

Claude gets confused about which way the robot is facing, and the fix turns out to be simple. The improved robot program, a REST API for agents and instructions for Claude Code are all on GitHub.

Prompt & Solder

An independent community project. Not affiliated with Anthropic.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Privacy. No accounts. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you accept them; no ads or cross-site tracking. Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count).
