Every now and then I get to work on some really cool stuff at HyperQuake. Today HyperQuake launched something I have been working on (with others) to create, the BirdBot Factory. The basic idea is that you can design your own paper craft robot bird - tell me that isn't sweet.
So here are couple pics that show off some of the online and printed out bots.
Finally, for good measure here is the video on how to put one of the printed bots together.
On the technical side of things we built the site using Flex 3 & 4 with Away3D for viewing the bot as you create it. We also take advantage of the new Flash 10 ability to download files. Once the bot is created on the front end we send the details to our PHP backend which creates the PDF to download.
Anyway, I hope everyone gets a chance to play around with it. It's a very cool fun way to spend a little bit of time.
