Cool, huh?
It’s an entry into an Arduino Contest.
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. “with one simple controller, you can make almost anything!”
Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories and the Arduino Team have teamed up to put on an Arduino contest. More explained on Wired and Instructables:
Use those nifty microcontrollers to build an cool project and maybe win a prize! The rules are simple: to enter you must make a new Instructable that involves the Arduino IDE. You can use any hardware that you like, or none at all. Be sure to provide the code you used so that others can follow in your footsteps. Make something amazing and win a sweet Meggy Jr RGB from Evil Mad Science or an Arduino Mega from the Arduino Team to power your next project!
