A robotic arm hooked up to an Arduino, controlled by a Leap Motion device.
I built this in my tiny studio apartment in SF. I've never built anything before this besides IKEA furniture. Most of the cutting and drilling was done in the kitchen. I used a power drill to drill the holes and metal scissors to cut the aluminum. I then bent the aluminum by hand and attached it to the servos. All of the wood was cut at Home Depot before purchasing it, since I don't have a saw at home.
