Remember the Panic Playdate? The innovative hand-cranked handheld game console that was released in 2019? Well, Guillaume Loquin’s PlayBot kit turns the device into a miniature robot / charging dock.
Put simply, all you’ll need is a 3D printer, two wheels, a motor, and a microcontroller. The mod actually uses the Playdate’s built-in accelerometer, microphone and sensors, so the most complex part of the project is putting everything together. Plus, it’s also compatible with the Vision AI camera powered by Huskylens. Want to build your own? Check out the Github project here.

The project is based on a Teensy 4.1 microcontroller that acts as a USB hub for the Playdate and communicates over serial,” said its creator.
