Tekkit toys in Real Life?

Discovered this while reading through this months Popular Science. I know a lot of us enjoy Tekkit because we can build all sorts of machines and toys to do cool things. When I saw this, I immediately thought about making all sorts of cool things like we do for OpenCC and Computer Craft.

Ugh.... Arduinos.....

Lol sorry its a running joke when i was in electronic technologies :D

[Lethosos]

Go look up RepRap, that will give you ideas. :D

Well, since that's your area, I'm sure it was a running joke for you guys. But for those of us without Engineering degrees.

I received my major in Information Tech and Apple's were and still are our running jokes.

Apples are only running jokes until they receive a minor update and stop both running and being a joke.

Arduinos are nice little toys, but a raspberry pi is what you want for real fun. And they even have a free minecraft that supports modification of the game world by external scripts.

I had a pre-revision pi (half the memory and no mounting holes), but I gave it to my nephew.

was going to mention raspberry pi, but couldn't remember what it was called. :-)

would something like that work for tekkit, or is it somehow limited in memory/power? The last I read (which was a while ago) was before I got into Minecraft/Tekkit.

EDIT: I see here that you can make a server on it, but I have a feeling that Tekkit might be too much to hope for.

Yeah, tekkit would eat a pi for breakfast. Maybe half a dozen pis clustered together could get it started, but then you have networking latency and all that jazz.

Best use would be as a small server with a physical bridge. Use the GPIO to control stuff based on in game actions.

Oh that does look cool, thanks.

And yea, just picking on Apple's because it's fun!
