The inspiring article, published by LinuxJournal, describes how Surran and his students built a variety of robots from readily available components -- old PC motherboards, windshield wiper motors, lawn mower wheels, plywood, and vintage erector sets. The robots all run Linux, and demonstrate extreme resourcefulness. "
